Smithsonian, White House and Woke
Digest more
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.
President Trump confirmed the White House is doing a review Smithsonian museums, where he complained "everything discussed is how horrible our Country is."
President Trump says 'woke' is not just a problem at the Smithsonian and that he'll root it out at museums nationwide.
CBS host Tony Dokoupil agreed with Trump's criticism of Smithsonian museums focusing too much on America's negative history rather than celebrating achievements.
The president says the collection of museums shouldn’t focus so heavily on things like slavery and other negative aspects of American history.
The examples cited included a 2020 "Whiteness" Infographic, Latinos With Disabilities Program & Anthony Fauci Portrait
