At Mt. Rushmore, Trump Scoops the Democrats
New York Sun ^ | July 4,2020 | Editorial of The New York Sun

Posted on 07/05/2020 8:53:56 AM PDT by Hojczyk

His vow was that the American people “will not allow our country, and all of its values, history, and culture, to be taken from them.” At this point the audience was chanting “USA!” Mr. Trump then laced into “cancel culture,” which he called “driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees.” He called it “completely alien to our culture and our values.”

It would be one thing were any of the major Democrats saying such things. The cat, though, has got their tongues. Not a peep of support from, say, Vice President Biden or Speaker Pelosi or even Governor Cuomo or Mayor de Blasio, nor such vice presidential contenders as Senators Harris and Warren. Five weeks into this uprising, and Mr. Trump has scooped them all — and marked that the Democrats are part of the problem.

In the speech, Mr. Trump managed to extol everyone from Muhammad Ali to Harriet Tubman, Irving Berlin, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Wright Brothers, Jesse Owens, Frederick Douglass and Wild Bill Hickok. He declared for “equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment for citizens of every race, background, religion, and creed,” adding: “Every child, of every color — born and unborn — is made in the holy image of God.”

It’s not our intention here to predict that Mr. Trump’s Rushmore strategy will work. We get that the President is behind in the polls. It’s hard to recall, though, a moment in this campaign in which the lines have been more clearly articulated by any Republican. Why Mr. Biden failed to get in ahead of him in defense of the Rushmore presidents is as much of a mystery as Mrs. Clinton’s failure to campaign in Wisconsin.

the democrats and the fake legacy news media call this dark and racist.

“He declared for “equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment for citizens of every race, background, religion, and creed,” adding: “Every child, of every color — born and unborn — is made in the holy image of God.”

“It’s not our intention here to predict that Mr. Trump’s Rushmore strategy will work.”

Is that what that was, a strategy? Is it possible that he was simply expressing his beliefs and intentions?

Mystery solved: it's because Biden is afraid of the mob even as he hopes to wield them into electoral victory, which would be the mob's victory.

The Military Industrial Media Complex is a tough triumvirate to overcome.

Thanks, President Donald J. Trump. “Sorry to keep you waiting, tough business.”

The TOTALITARIAN DESTROYERS of history are setting the stage for the re-write.

The author was right about one thing. Democrats are in no hurry to defend George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Will a lot of swing voters think negatively of democrats? This is just one piece of the puzzle that paints democrats as the party that destroys statues and potentially Mount Rushmore.

He's not "behind in the polls", he's well ahead, he just has to keep reminding the country and motivating the people to vote.

Meanwhile.... Joe Biden: ‘I’m Joe Biden’s Husband, Joe Biden’

Biden said America’s history is no “fairy tale” as the country has never lived up to the words of the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.”

Really? All the polls I see he is behind.

Not that the polls are right.

Yeah, what I was getting at was that -- the polls are BS just as they were four years ago.
