Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell pounded the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Friday for playing the “race card†with Mount Rushmore and equating the iconic monument to “white supremacy.â€
“I am embarrassed to be a Democrat tonight,†he told Fox News’ “Hannity.â€
The DNC tweeted Monday, “Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again. He’s attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief. Now he’s holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore, a region once sacred to tribal communities.â€
“[Mount Rushmore] is a great place for the president to celebrate our nation’s birthday,†Terrell told guest host Jason Chaffetz as President Donald Trump prepared to deliver a speech in front of the venerated South Dakota sculpture.
“That tweet — I want people to hear this,†Terrell continued, “The Democratic Party calling this a ‘white supremacy’ meeting is the race card at its highest level and that came from the Democratic Party.â€
