MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”
Guest host Antonia Hylton began by trying to wax poetic about the Smithsonian, “That description there, in the reporting, of the way this administration seeks to transform the Smithsonian, a place that millions of people visit, students go to, to study, to find themselves in the world, to work on life-changing research projects. They want to bend it to the way Trump views our nation’s history.”
