CNN's Laura Coates took issue Tuesday night with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the Smithsonian Institute has gone "out of control" with woke content and used some of his own words from 2017 to prove him wrong.
In a message sent to all museum staff on Wednesday, which was shared with Slate, Bunch reiterated the Smithsonian’s commitment to intellectual honesty and integrity while subtly conceding that the institution’s collections “may evolve to reflect new discoveries and insights” and that the institution “cannot know what future critiques will hold.”

The examples cited included a 2020 "Whiteness" Infographic, Latinos With Disabilities Program & Anthony Fauci Portrait
