MSNBC is exercising it’s journalistic responsibility in 2020 ... all of a sudden.

Activist is the key operating word here. I am Mohawk and we would have taken your land back then should we resided by you just the way many tribes did to each other. Point being, I love America and don't want to go back to reservation. Unless you own a Casino of course!

Who did the Lakota take that land from? The world has a rich history of conquest, that everyone seems to ignore.

Heads up, FreeNickTilsen Founder of NDNCollective which successfully blockaded the route to MtRushmore for several hours on July 3. They won't even give him his 1 phone call from jail. LandBack Lakota And they won't allow mask wearing in the jail.

You clowns had zero to say about this when Obama visited years ago. What's changed? Agenda much?

❤❤❤❤

Don’t care! PMSNBC is FAKENEWS.

fake news

If the Republican party thinks they have one of their cronies that wants that park for their own private business profits then it will be awarded to them. The Republicans called that capitalism. When the Russians do it we call them oligarch's.

BREAKING: The Lakota tribe protesting Mt. Rushmore apparently owned slaves themselves History is a b*tch, that’s why so many want to erase it Indians owned slaves to. They also took land from other Indians.

And what would you do with the land.

How much did that cost you Communists? Did you tell your Marxist buddie that it was you TraitorCrats that stole their Land? That a DemoRat Pres. Andrew Jackson stole over 380 Million Sq. Miles so that he and his Party friends could profit. Over and over you DemoRats Screwed them.

I agree that of all people, the Native Americans were cheated, lied to, and persecuted almost to the point of extinction. If anyone should be granted reparations, it should be the Native Americans. Yet, calling for the destruction of national monuments isn't the way to go.

This network is 'f'ing amazing.....not one article about the killings in Chicago! Nothing on the violence in this country! Please do your job!!!

Hint: Mt Rushmore wasn't sculpted during the Trump administration.

Wow. I just watched that episode of Designated survivor last night

Yes , it’s Trumps fault. He’s been in politics for 3 years yet Biden, Schumer , and Pelosi have been in politics a combined 125 years but Trump !? Give it a rest.

Will you also demand the nytimes give back the land their building is on since it was taken from native Americans?

Now they wanna complain when someone they don’t like shows up but they weren’t saying nothing to Bernie back in 2016. Hypocrites

Well, treaties are stupid when Hillary, Obama or Sanders visit that sacred land. But when Trump goes? OMG! THE LAKOTAS!!!

Funny how this is totally 180 degrees out from when Obama visited Mt Rushmore. There was none of this jackassery in the news. Wonder what changed? Oh yeah. Orange man bad. Okay

PattyArquette I have learned the truth, the real truth about history in 2020 then I did in school.

21 th century why not

Maybe we should give that land back to the Cheyenne people, since they were forced out by the Sioux in the 1760s. Or maybe the Kiowas, Pawnee, Crow, and Arikara before them. Lets not pretend that war and land aquisition was not going on before whitey.

You need to get your land back every inch and every mile because it was stolen. You have my full support

Were the Lakota one of the tribes that owned slaves AFTER 1865?

PattyArquette The plight of the Native American people is monstrously overlooked.

America is built on death, blood, slavery, theft, and lies.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know...

Janmoon1964 The Lakota-Sioux arrived in the West after being on the losing end of a war with other tribes in Minnesota in the late 1700s. Known as the Lakota, or simply the Sioux, they waged genocidal war on other tribes before they took over the Black Hills from the Cheyenne.

The Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from France in 1803. In return for fifteen million dollars, or approximately eighteen dollars per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi. Wikipedia

Sue! Conservatives are originalists.

SD Sen John Thune is one of the Sleeper Cell 8 Senators who met with GRU, July 4, 2018. gregolear They each give wildly different or NO explanation for meeting. Thune wealth grew by $10 m in last 3 years, with also no explanation.

SarahSunshineM For people trying to educate themselves, not an expert but: Treaty of Fort Laramie is what is being referenced. Relevant SCOTUS cases include Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock (1903), and United States v. Sioux Nation (Oceti Sakowin) (1980), among others

To those of you who were bitching about President Grant’s statue coming down. He was responsible for this.

Why, on Independence Day, are you giving us this? Is it so hard to just say you love America? Maybe an uplifting story about our founders? Nope. Just more anti American bullshit.

MountRushmore NEVER AN ISSUE 2008 - 2016 MAGA2020Landslide MAGA2020 MAGA

Unless a power white guy says otherwise.

The true history of western expansion is one of murder, theft, lies, starvation, and broken treaties, which were always broken by the U S Government. All these tactics plus intentional spread of deadly diseases nearly wiped out indigenous people.

The problem with contracts and treaties is there in the past and people in poverty get lost in media and think that change is the solution to all the problems. After the first afro president we see violence, with all this war it's difficult to have peace to make a step for change

They’d just trash it if we gave it back

Trump is a Traitor on ALL LEVELS.

You might want to tell your colleagues to use proper punc·tu·a·tion!

We’re told Mount Rushmore has to go because it’s on land we stole from the Lakota tribe. What they forget to mention is that the Lakota tribe stole it from the Cheyenne, who had stolen it from the Kiowa. Yet our “theft” from thieves is supposed to be some injustice.

Every American should have to learn the history of the Treaty of the Dancing Rabbit and the following distribution of blankets contaminated with smallpox to Choctaw infants.

I guess during the 8 years of Obama he was too busy working on systemic racism. 🙄

For the record, scientifically speaking, no one is indigenous here. All populations and cultures migrated here.

HonorTheTreaties

Stop whining Native Americans. If you loved this land so much you should have fought harder to keep it.

HAPPY 4Th OF JULY ♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️

This is AmeriKKKa where maintaining white supremacy is the only thing that matters.

Noem has a history of putting in place awful policies towards Native Americans, so when she talks of 'freedom', she means ' White' freedom...

It’s ours now 🇺🇸

Blah blah blah.

Now they have to disinfectant the whole place after he leaving. All the stain of his racist slur and virus were all over the place.

Then, we ALL need to vacate the country, right?

Happy 4th of July, America! Democrats....Happy Saturday!
