Zinke Is the Idiot You Think He Is

Vowing to not remove any monuments from federal lands, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke defended the Trump administration’s stance about not taking down Confederate statues and said it would upset “native Indians.”

Huh?

“Where do you start and where do you stop? … If you’re a native Indian, I can tell you, you’re not very happy about the history of General Sherman or perhaps President Grant,” Zinke said during an interview with Breitbart Sunday, referencing the Union generals’ monuments around the U.S. despite their roles in creating federal policy that caused great harm to native Americans.

Oh, I see. He didn't mean it would "upset" the native "Indians" and that wouldn't be right. what he meant was it would stir up the natives, and they'd want monuments to their oppressors removed, too.

Dick.

Zinke said removing the statues will inhibit the U.S. from being able to “learn” from history.

Oh, Jesus. Stop digging, idiot asshole.  And stop flying on charter jets.

The Secretary of the Interior is calling Native Americans "Indians".

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
