Since we’re all freaking out about President Trump giving a speech at Mount Rushmore to kick off the Fourth of July weekend, I suggest we all calm down. For liberals, you really should just take a Xanax or an Ambien; it’s better to converse with the walrus anyway. Why? well, not that I really care, but you may not want to cancel some of the top liberal leaders in the country. They’ve all visited Mount Rushmore. Obama did, as did Bernie Sanders. By the Left’s rules, both men are allies of white supremacy and slavery. They’re canceled.

In 2016, Sanders visited Mount Rushmore, saying “this is our country at its very best.” The self-described democratic socialist even said it “really does make one very proud to be an American.”

Bernie, there are slaveholders on that memorial. You’re now a white supremacist based on the new insane and illiberal ethos of the woke police. CNN covered Sanders’ trip to the memorial four years ago. This is how they covered Trump’s visit, saying he “be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans.”

The media is gaslighting you. This article claims it’s a “straw-man” to say that parts of the left are inciting mayhem. We all saw the riots. Our eyes don’t lie.

Flash forward to 2020, CNN: “President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans.”

This is what media bias looks like. https://t.co/2Je43scrRp

Can't wait to "take in the majesty of the moment" again tonight, @CNN!

America at its best!
