Rep. Dusty Johnson pushed back against ESPN host Jalen Rose's calls to cancel the phrase"Mt. Rushmore."
Rose had recorded a 90-second video of himself on Twitter discussing at length his problems with the"offensive" term, used to reflect the top four greatest in a category. Johnson criticized Rose's attempt in a responding tweet.OKLAHOMA COACH'S USE OF AN OFFENSIVE WORD WAS INADVERTENT, AND FORGIVABLE I don’t want to dunk on Jalen Rose but canceling Mt. Rushmore isn’t happening. https://t.co/afKiD0fV56Johnson introduced a bill in 2020 called the Mount Rushmore Protection Act, ensuring"that no Federal funds shall be used to alter, change, destroy, or remove, in whole or in part, any name, face, or other feature on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial." The lone member from South Dakota has garnered 38 other cosponsors.
"When you look at those four great presidents on Mount Rushmore, they did as much as a person can — as anybody can — to build toward a more perfect union," the representative said in a press release."Now is the time we should be rallying around those values: freedom, independence, liberty, equality.
