GOP Fighting to Preserve American Monument from Radical Activits

Did you know there aren’t any democrats on Mount Rushmore?

Fun fact.

The faces of some of our nations greatest heroes are immortalized on Mount Rushmore, but if the left had it their way – that would all change in an instant.

Luckily, House Republicans recently proposed legislation to help ensure those four faces of freedom aren’t destroyed or altered in any way. Fox News has more:

The Mount Rushmore Protection Act would prohibit the use of federal funds to change, destroy or rename the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The bill from Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., is a response to criticism that has grown since former President Donald Trump visited the site in 2020.

“Our nation’s history is not without its flaws, but there is no doubt the faces on Mount Rushmore represent democracy, freedom and the great American experiment,” Johnson said. “Removing or changing Mount Rushmore will not change the past and will not move us forward as a country. We must protect Mount Rushmore for generations to come.”

You remember that epic speech President Trump gave a few years ago at Mount Rushmore?

We sure do. Here’s a quick highlight video if you’ve forgotten:

Anyway, ever since President Trump’s speech in 2020 at the national monument, activists have been working hard to rename, deface or outright destroy our nations most cherished carving.

Just like the left called our great president a racist and bigot; they make those same claims about the four legends on Mount Rushmore.

Our friends over at Newsmax had more to say about the proposed bill:

Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., introduced the measure during the last Congress in response to former NBA player Jalen Rose’s call to “retire” Mount Rushmore, saying it is “offensive.

“Johnson’s bill states that the monument is “America’s Shrine of Democracy” and “depicts the faces of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln with the beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota.

“Thus far, House Republicans reportedly supporting the bill include Reps. Michael Guest of Mississippi, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Doug LaMalfa of California, Jim Banks of Indiana, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Chris Stewart of Utah, Troy Nehls of Texas, and Claudia Tenney of New York. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen, the delegate from American Samoa and a nonvoting member, also supports the bill.

What do you think?

Should Mount Rushmore be changed or altered in any way?

I think George Orwell said it best in 1984:

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
