Trump Fuels Culture War Message at Mount Rushmore

President Trump bemoaned the removal of monuments across the country as a left-wing attack on “national heritage” in a divisive Independence Day speech at Mount Rushmore.

The radical ideology attacking our country advances under the banner of social justice, but in truth, it would demolish both justice and society. This left wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution. In so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery and progress. To make this possible they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol and memory of our national heritage. That is why I am deploying federal law enforcement to protect our monuments, arrest the rioters and prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law. Today under the authority vested in me as president of the United States. [Applause] I am announcing the creation of a new monument to the giants of our past. I am signing an executive order to establish the National Garden of American Heroes: a vast outdoor park, that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live. I’d like to wish everybody a very happy 4th of July. To all, God bless you. God bless your families. God bless our great military. And God bless America. Thank you very much.
