CNN slights Mount Rushmore as ‘monument of two slaveowners’ after extolling its ‘majesty’ in 2016
By Fox News, July 4, 2020
A CNN reporter on Friday described Mount Rushmore “a monument of two slaveowners” situated on stolen land ahead of President Trump‘s visit to the national monument.
Grabien founder and editor Tom Elliot tweeted a clip of the report by correspondent Leyla Santiago in which she discussed Trump’s planned remarks.
“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,” she said. “I’m told that, uh, he’ll be focusing on the effort to ‘tear down our country’s history.'”

In 2016, however, a CNN reporter described Mount Rushmore as a “monument to four great American presidents” while narrating a story about a visit to the monument by then-presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
“This is our country at it’s very best,” Sanders said at the time. “What an incredible achievement.”
The unidentified reporter’s voice can be heard talking about the “majesty of the moment.”
Pursuant to the new moral stricture promulgated this week by the NYT & CNN — that Mount Rushmore is a shameful monument to racism and white supremacy — both CNN and Bernie Sanders ought to repent for this praise they jointly heaped on it in 2016:pic.twitter.com/0MRNO2PJ2j
