CNN’s Laura Coates welcomed Prof. Michael Eric Dyson to her Tuesday show to react to a Truth Social post from President Trump lamenting current content at Smithsonian museums. According to Dyson, Trump’s desired changes put him in the same category of leader as Benito Mussolini.
Coates saw something sinister afoot, “I want to bring in Michael Eric Dyson to this conversation as well because I'd be remiss if I did not lean on his mind as well, as the scholar that he is. But why are we back here with a conversation from the president of the United States wanting to curate, read: eliminate the history of slavery?”
It should be noted that even CNN’s chyron appeared to disagree with the choice of the word “eliminate” as it read, “Trump: Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was.'”
