Leftists Waste No Time Attacking Francis Scott Key After Bridge Collapse
Jonathan Richie
Almost immediately after the Francis Scott Key Bridge fell into the Baltimore Harbor, the vulturous left began circling the wreckage, seeing the tragedy as an opportunity to disparage America’s past.
The bridge’s namesake, famous lawyer-poet Francis Scott Key, has been a target of ridicule for anti-American revisionist historians for several years now. With the destruction of the bridge, the left all-too-gladly resumed its effort to erase Key’s memory from our national consciousness as a part of its endless crusade against notable figures in American history.
“Who was Francis Scott Key, the controversial poet the bridge is named after?” The Washington Post breathlessly asked.
