Top Dem Likens Trump To 'Racial Arsonist' Amid Attacks On The Smithsonian

Earlier this week, the president accused the "woke" cultural institution of only focusing on how “horrible our country is” and "bad slavery was."
President Donald Trump’s plot to control American history got a sharp takedown from a top Democrat on Sunday.
Last Tuesday, the president raged about the “out of control” and “woke” Smithsonian Institution in a post on Truth Social, complaining how its museums only focused on how “horrible our Country is” and “bad Slavery was.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) scoffed at Trump’s suggestion that there was any upside to depict about slavery as he spoke to Dana Bash during a stop by CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“There is no good aspect of slavery, and so Donald Trump is once again behaving like a racial arsonist,” he said, adding that it was “extraordinary that he would make such a historically ignorant statement.”
Putting his full support behind the institution, Jeffries said, “The Smithsonian should continue to hold the line and make sure that this very painful part of American history is not erased, but is understood by everyone across this country and throughout the world.”
