Pres. Trump views his trip to Mount Rushmore as celebrating America's 'heritage' on the July Fourth holiday weekend. But many Native American leaders could not disagree more.

a historian at the University of Oregon, but they refuse to accept it saying they will only accept the land back that was illegally taken from them.President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence stand on stage after President Donald Trump spoke at the "Salute to America" ceremony in front of the Lincoln Memorial, July 4, 2019, in Washington.

This event celebrating the nation’s 244th birthday also has raised alarm in some Native American tribes in South Dakota, concerned that the event will put tribal members needlessly at risk for spread of the coronavirus. Their fear only was heightened given the toll the virus has taken on the Navajo Nation where members experience high rates of underlying medical conditions making them more vulnerable and have limited access to hospitals, some 100 miles away.

“We told those folks that have concerns that they stay can home,” GOP Gov. Kristi Noem said in an interview with Fox News on Monday night. “But those who want to come, join us. We will be giving out free face masks if they choose to wear one. We won’t be social distancing, we’re asking them to come, be ready to celebrate the freedoms and the liberties we have in this country.”

They need to shut up and clean up their own backyard. They need to be responsible Americans in their reservations. The whites won and we lost. At least they didn’t kill us all. We would have.

Apparently you either don’t care or realize that most Americans see you as racist and promoting the corona virus outbreak and we need you completely out of our lives. You don’t care about people dying either from racism or the corona virus both tearing up the safety of the US.

The fukn indians lost, just like the confederacy. Learn ftom it and get on with America.

Bullshit

He’s the 15 president to do this , but today it’s bad because it Trump , ABC news is one biased news

Technically there are no natives in North America. Humans originated in Africa, migrated through Asia, across the land bridge to the Americas. We are all immigrants in the USA. It’s only a matter of how many generations.

As a Native American I want Trump to win- You better hope Communist globalist don't win they care about their 1% who pirated 80% of world wealth your just a paid puppet to be destroyed in their events. They eat babies crazy huh until you see the proof.

Racebaiting never in history has the news stoop so low

Party on!! Fuck them!!!

Trump supporters do not need a rally to vote for him! In fact, the rallys are hurting him overall. Make him appears heartless. A senior view point.

why aren't the Native American leaders focused on improving the awful conditions of the reservations?

Stop the over generous Welfare checks 2 Indians! They obviously don’t appreciate it.

The President of the United States is going to one of our Nation’s historic monuments to celebrate Independence Day and you people still find a reason to criticize it. And you wonder why people are fed up with the MSM ?

The only likeness of Trump there needs to be in the US.. fitting

I view the the President’s trip as celebrating America’s heritage.

Bernie visited Mount Rushmore in 2016

Not surprising Native Americans have been fighting with each others for ages before Europeans arrived. Fab gay Latin man for realDonaldTrump TuckerCarlson Mount Rushmore

Just a thought. 2 of the 4 Presidents on Mt. Rushmore were slave owners. So what do we do? Take that down too?

The national media simply sells hate and division; and, sadly, many are looking to buy.

So TRUMP built Mt. Rushmore?

He is Soo jealous. Trying to burn them down - biggly 🔥 works! Make Hate not Great

Tough🇺🇸

I thought killing and relocating natives WAS our 'heritage.'

Many huh? Is one of them Elizabeth Warren?

Where were you when Obama or Clinton was President. Go home.

So contact the President. Tell him what your upset about. He will Help You anyway He can. He is not to blame for things that were done in the past. Look to the future and make it right. Don't blame Trump !

Too bad

You call this news?

Hopefully he's scouting locations for his where his eventual sculptural bust will be added

有病

They protested when Obama went there, right? Did you cover that? Or was there no protest? I guess BarackObama needs to apologize Our founders were imperfect people, but the bill of rights, constitution and Gettysburg address are perfect. We need to love each other and unite!

How did they feel about Michelle Obama going
