This event is labeled an official White House event, but it is sharply partisan and political, centering almost exclusively on dividing the country into "they" vs. "our heritage." Any historians out there recall any similar July 4th event so sharply divisive? — PolitiTweet.org

On the eve of the 4th of July, Trump marks Independence Day by focusing on efforts to remove statues, many of them of Confederate figures: "Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." — PolitiTweet.org

The president is now claiming that the removal efforts are focused on "abolitionists" and the founding fathers. He doesn't mention the Confederate figures, who are actually the main target of removal campaigns, and whose statues he has also vociferously defended. — PolitiTweet.org
