CNN Refers to Washington and Jefferson as Just ‘Two Slave Owners’ While Covering Mt. Rushmore Event

The resentment for America at CNN was on full display during Independence Day weekend, particularly as a CNN pundit referred to the Founding Fathers as just a couple of slave owners.

During the network’s coverage of President Donald Trump’s speech at Mt. Rushmore, Leyla Santiago said that “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.”

The remarkably anti-American commentary lit social media ablaze, with patriots absolutely shredding the network for their hostility towards our nation.

“CNN has reduced the Founding Fathers of America, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to just ‘two slave owners,'” JT Lewis, whose brother was killed during the school shooting in Sandy Hook, tweeted. “CNN hates America.”

The segment was wildly different than how they covered Bernie Sanders appearing at Mt. Rushmore in 2016.
