South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” addressed the possibility of Mount Rushmore National Memorial becoming the next target of protesters as calls to remove statues and memorials of leaders with flawed pasts have increased.
In a Tuesday tweet, Noem said nothing will happen to Mount Rushmore on her “watch.” Speaking to “Fox & Friends” on FNC, she stressed the importance of not erasing the United States’ history.
“[W]e’ve seen some activity online where people have made threats to that,” Noem advised. “What my message is, is that this is no longer about equality, this is a radical rewriting of our history and in South Dakota we won’t stand for it. This is a national monument. The more we focus on the flaws of these men that are on our mountain, the less likely we are to recognize the virtues and the lessons we can learn from their lives. So that really is the message that I have for South Dakotans that love this mountain and Mount Rushmore for this country, that recognize what it represents to us and we will do all that we can to make sure that that message is loud and clear, that we will make sure that Mount Rushmore stays as majestic as it is today.”
“This whole conversation has changed,” she added. “It’s gone away from equality and it’s a radical movement that’s rewriting our history, that will take away all the lessons that we want to teach our kids and our grandkids.

Thank you for clarifying that.

She needs to run for President in 2024

I dunno.
To me, she just waved a great big red cape in front of Mount Rushmore. The ingenuity of a lone wolf in causing irreparable damage to the mountain should not be dismissed.

Do you think these Leftist Radicals (mainstream Democrats) don't already have Mount Rushmore on their hit list? They want to take down all evidence of the Foundling Fathers in Philadelphia or at least start with "Warning Labels" describing how awful they were to own slaves, and what bigoted racists they were and that they want a "Non-Romanticized" description of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, etc.

All the protest stuff is a means to an end. I don't believe they really care about the symbolism ( any of it ) as long as they get what they demand.

It's all a ruse.

The issue is never the issue. It isn't about racism, or symbols, flags, statues, monuments etc. It is about erasing and re-writing history. Kristi Noem is spot on. Before you can create a new Socialist (Communist) UTOPIA you must first tear down everything that existed previously. Look what the Soviet Union and China did. The STATE replaced religion, and private industry.

What do they demand? “Justice” is as nebulous as a beauty pageant contestant who wants “world peace.”
Neither will be achieved when there are evil people on this globe. So now what? Where to we go from here?
(These rhetorical questions are not directed at you Bob. They are what I would ask the mob before I ran over them in my F-150.)
