Was Mount Rushmore racist in 2008 when candidate Obama visited?
William Howard Taft stopped in Edgemont … Custer … Deadwood and Rapid City back in 1911.
Calvin Coolidge made the Custer State Park Game Lodge his summer White House in 1927 …
Franklin Roosevelt came to Rapid City in 1936 … and also made a stop at Mount Rushmore.
Dwight Eisenhower came in 1953.
Gerald Ford made a quick stop here in 1976.
Ronald Reagan made a stop in Rapid City in October of 1986.
George Bush came for the 50th anniversary of Mount Rushmore in July of 1991.
Bill Clinton in July of 1999.
Flash forward to 2020, CNN: “President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he’ll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans.”
This is what media bias looks like. https://t.co/2Je43scrRp
