“You remember #KyleRittenhouse & how he was made a hero on the right,” Trey Gowdy, a Republican fmr congressman & attorney for #Trump during one of his first-term #impeachments. “#AlexPretti’s #firearm was being lawfully carried.…He never brandished it.”

It replaced a photo by photojournalist Matt McClain, which showed #Trump with his hands folded in front of him, & was accompanied by a longer caption recounting Trump’s first term & his reelection. “Impeached twice, on charges of #AbuseOfPower & #incitement of #insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials,” it read in part.

Representative #JerryNadler, a #NewYork #Democrat who has been one of #Congress’s leading #liberal voices for 3 decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.

The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Nadler at the center of major #CivilRights battles & 3 presidential #impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of #Manhattan.

An old rule in Washington holds that you are entitled to your own opinions but you are not entitled to your own #facts. #Trump seems determined to prove that wrong.

Don’t like an #intelligence report that contradicts your view? Go after the analysts. Don’t like cost estimates for your #tax plan? Invent your own. Don’t like a predecessor’s #climate policies? Scrub government websites of underlying #data. Don’t like a #museum exhibit that cites your #impeachments? Delete any mention of them.

Before it was removed last month, the placard had been on display since September 2021, according to a #Smithsonian spokesperson. It read, “Case under redesign (history happens),” & mentioned #Trump’s two #impeachments, as well as details about the other 3 presidents.

…National #Museum of #AmericanHistory spokeswoman Valeska Hilbig told The Post that removing the placard was the only change it made as a result of its content review.

WaPo reported on Thursday that in July, the museum removed a placard describing the #Trump #impeachments & reverted the exhibit to how it looked in 2008. That display—a glass case dominated by a file cabinet damaged in the Watergate break-in—says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal”: Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon & Bill Clinton.

The placard mentioning Trump was removed from the exhibition,…after what the #Smithsonian called a “review” of “legacy content.”
