Watch: Democrat Senator Says She Open To Tear Down Statues Of George Washington
Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth not only blasted President Trump’s visit to Mt. Rushmore on CNN she attacked America’s first President, George Washington.
The Democrat Senator told CNN:
His priorities are wrong. What are we going to do to push Russia back? Instead, he had no time for that. He spent all his time talking about dead traitors,” she said. “Remember the president at Mount Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans.”
During the interview, Senator Duckworth also said that she is open to allowing statues of “slave owner” George Washington being torn down.

President Trump’s trip to Mt. Rushmore over the weekend and his speech in DC on Saturday must have been really effective because the left is losing their minds.

Just a reminder no one in the Democrat party seemed to have an issue with Mount Rushmore in 2016.
In 2016, CNN’s Jeff Zeleny called Mount Rushmore a “monument to four great American Presidents”
Bernie Sanders said “this is our country at its very best,” called it an “incredible achievement,” and said it “really does make one very proud to be an American.” pic.twitter.com/YQ7ozKKICs
