Guess accounting for people who have gone more than once, and for people who have gone but are now deceased, and also accounting for citizens of other countries who have gone, looking at the attendance records, probably 60 million living US citizens have been to Mount Rushmore which is operated by the National Park Service.

One retired black lady we spoke with on a solo road trip from NYC had done the Blue Ridge Parkway, the big Indian mound near East St. Louis, the Badlands, and many other places on the way to Keystone, SD. She was then headed for Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Joshua Tree NP. Said she had never been anywhere, just worked all the time on Wall Street back room jobs, and decided on a big bucket list -- just like a lot of people.

Attacking this great land from down deep in the canyons to the mountain tops and knocking down the statue of white man John Muir probably isn't going to go over very well for the democrats.

Then again if the busts are permanently blackened that will remind people not to vote Republican

I had known for years that Borglum had belonged to the KKK at one point, when Trump announced he was going there I knew it was just a matter of time before that would be brought out:

Second tribal leader calls for removal of Mount Rushmore before Trump visit

BY ZACK BUDRYK TWEET SHARE EMAIL

A second South Dakota tribal leader called for the removal of the four sculptures on Mount Rushmore, which is carved into land sacred to the Lakota Sioux.

"Nothing stands as a greater reminder to the Great Sioux Nation of a country that cannot keep a promise or treaty than the faces carved into our sacred land on what the United States calls Mount Rushmore," Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold Frazier said in a statement, according to USA Today.

Frazier also criticized President Trump's and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's (R) plans for a July 3 fireworks display at the monument, according to the newspaper.

“The Democratic National Committee sent out a tweet that characterized President Trump's planned Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore as an effort to glorify white supremacy.

The DNC deleted the tweet, but it was captured by an internet archive site.”

The democrat party is a racist political party transfixed bu trying to transfer their racism to others by false accusations. Only democrats would find the idea of having fireworks celebrations about Independence Day at a national monument to be a bad thing. They hate Trump so much that they are willing to drag America down in their effort to undo their 2016 loss. Keep America Great!

They are hoping to erase their own racist past of the confederacy, slavery and the KKK. But no matter how much they say they've repented, they haven't.

Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades as a child. He "recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. After Byrd had collected the $10 joining fee and $3 charge for a robe and hood from every applicant, the Grand Dragon Joel L. Baskin for the mid-Atlantic states came down to tiny Crab Orchard, West Virginia to officially organize the chapter... "When it came time to choose the Exalted Cyclops, the top officer in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously."

In 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:[9]

“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. ”

— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944, [6][10]

This is the guy the Democrats insisted lie in state under the Capitol dome in 2006. A hood wearing KKK member lying in state. They are fine ones to talk about white supremacy. When will they take down the statues of Byrd. When will they rename all the buildings named after Byrd.....and the streets too. Hypocrites if they don't.
