NYT Lays Out Case Against Mount Rushmore; Critics Remind Paper Of Its Own Problematic Past

The New York Times published an article and a promotional tweet on Wednesday laying out the case against one of America’s most iconic monuments, Mount Rushmore, a move that came within a couple of days of a quickly deleted tweet by the Democratic Party expressing a similar sentiment.

In a since-deleted tweet Monday night, the Democratic Party  described President Trump’s upcoming Independence Day celebrations at the famous monument as “glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore — a region once sacred to tribal communities.”
