When Obama visited Mt Rushmore it was "majestic" but when Trump goes its a sign of racism.

Trump Campaign Calls Out CNN, Alleging Mount Rushmore Hypocrisy

"Fascinating how CNN called Mount Rushmore 'majestic' and 'quite a sight' in 2008 when Obama visited, but now its a symbol of slavery and stolen land"

The tweet linked to a 2008 transcript of a CNN broadcast where it reported: "Barack Obama is in South Dakota today. He arrived there last night. Take a look at this. He got a good glimpse of the majestic Mount Rushmore."

And later in the transcript about the then-candidate's visit: "Obama arrived there late last night and got a good look around Mt. Rushmore – it's quite a sight if you haven't seen it."

Things were different 12 years ago? Has there perhaps been something that may have altered people's perspective on racial politics during that time?

Have you noticed it’s not 2008 anymore?

I should point out that while I don't think your point is coherent, DWBH, I do realize that CNN is really no better than any tabloid outlet. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all of these cable networks are trash, and they've been trash for years. It is a serious problem because there are somehow still people whose primary source of information is cable news.
