It was an absolute trainwreck for CNN’s race-baiting panel when former Democrat and fitness icon Jillian Michaels refused to play along with the Left’s one-note script on slavery, history, and the Smithsonian’s woke exhibits.
For context, the Trump administration is conducting an extensive review of the Smithsonian Institution ahead of next year’s 250th anniversary of America’s founding.
It will direct certain national museums and related exhibits to showcase “the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story.”
Appearing alongside Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), Scott Jennings, and CNN host Abby Phillip during a segment discussing the Smithsonian’s content review, Michaels dismantled the idea that every historical and cultural issue can be reduced to “white people bad.”
The fireworks started when Roginsky accused conservatives of trying to “whitewash” American history to appease the “MAGA base.”
Michaels immediately challenged her, pointing out that reviewing biased exhibits isn’t erasing history, it’s removing the political propaganda baked into taxpayer-funded museums.
When Roginsky tossed out slavery as an example, Michaels hit back hard, which didn’t sit well with Torres, who predictably declared America’s history a “system of white supremacy.”
