Fact check: 100% true. When the Smithsonian opened the African American History Museum in 2016, the Museum’s leadership not only did not mention Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they had three glowing references to Anita Hill, his discredited accuser whom the American people did not believe told the truth by a 58%-24% margin. Only 26% of women believed Anita Hill’s lies.
Lonnie Bunch was the head of the African American Museum at the time, and he is now the head of the entire Smithsonian. He is a hard-core progressive ideologue, and this was a disgraceful, malicious act.
Justice Thomas has gone on to become our second longest serving Justice in history and has had a monumental impact on American jurisprudence. He is our greatest Supreme Court Justice.
Yet, the disgraceful Smithsonian could not find any place to honor him when it opened its doors. It was too busy calling “hard work” and “individualism” racist.
President Trump is 100% correct when he says that the current Smithsonian leadership “cannot be trusted to tell America’s story with honesty and gratitude.”
