Old tweet from Tammy Duckworth shows what she used to think about Mount Rushmore

Earlier today we told you how Sen. Tammy Duckworth said she open to tearing down monuments to George Washington and that Mount Rushmore “was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans”:

Yet in 2015 she said she dress up like Mount Rushmore to celebrate July 4 in 2016:

So, what’s changed, senator?

"Remember that the President at Mt. Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans who had actually been given that land during a treaty."
—Tammy Duckworth (July 5, 2020)

I wonder what changed in the past 5 years…
