CNN's Laura Coates took issue Tuesday night with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the Smithsonian Institute has gone "out of control" with woke content and used some of his own words from 2017 to prove him wrong.
CBS host Tony Dokoupil agreed with Trump's criticism of Smithsonian museums focusing too much on America's negative history rather than celebrating achievements.
Through its 21 museums, 21 libraries, 14 education and research centers and a zoo, the Smithsonian Institution’s collections are expansive and cover every aspect of U.S. history, including more than 200 years of slavery.
President Donald Trump attacked the Smithsonian in a Truth Social post again over its depictions of slavery, receiving heavy pushback online.
