Historian dismisses Trump Independence Day rhetoric as 'Red Scare idiocy'

A presidential historian slammed Trump's Independence Day speech as nothing more than "Joe McCarthy Red Scare idiocy."During an appearance on MS NOW on Saturday, Doug Brinkley tore into the speech that Trump gave in front of Mount Rushmore to kick off the Independence Day weekend. In particular, Brinkley found it "deeply offensive" that Trump would spend time warning about communists because of recent primary victories by democratic socialists."It was just Joe McCarthy red scare idiocy because he's out there talking about this communist menace as if it's the early Cold War years," Brinkley went off. "It's just what he wants the Republicans to run on in this election cycle." MS NOW anchor Alex Witt agreed, adding, "When the president says, 'America will never become a communist country,' I was thinking to myself, 'Well, who said it was going to anyway?'"Brinkley compared Trump's speech to "McCarthy starting to have his list in Wheeling, West Virginia, waving it, that they are infiltrators all over." McCarthy famously tried to root out alleged communists during a period called the Red Scare.Trump's speech was "utter nonsense," Brinkley continued, while admitting that "politicizing" is "natural in our days."However, he optimistically viewed most Americans "watching on Main Street" as having the "spirit" of "a red, white and blue blast, and let's have a barbecue, let's see some family, see some friends, and then we'll get on to the bickering of politics during Monday or Tuesday."He also suggested, "I think our inclination for this weekend should be to try to transcend Donald Trump's rhetoric and just sort of block it out for 48 hours."

Masked men with Confederate flags storm D.C. on July 4: video

Hundreds of Confederate flag-bearing men marched into Washington, D.C. on July 4th, according to multiple reports. In a post on X, journalist Mitchell Miller, a reporter for WTOP News, shared a video of what he described as "a group of masked men gathered at Union Station" with Confederate flags and calls for "reclaiming the country and getting rid of immigrants." Miller added, "They have been marching across Capitol Hill."He wasn't the only one who captured the spectacle. PatriotTakes, which follows right-wing extremism, estimated in a post on X, "around 400 white nationalists Patriot Front members are marching in D.C. today with Confederate flags, etc."PatriotTakes reported that "a streamer with the group described it as a 'total Aryan victory.'"Spencer Allan Brooks, a local D.C. reporter, also posted video of the masked men. "White supremacist group Patriot Front is marching around Washington, DC this morning," he wrote. "They were seen at Union Station and in Capitol Hill neighborhoods."Videos showed that some of the flags were also upside-down American flags. Reuters noted in photo captions that Patriot Front members were also seen in nearby New Carrollton, Maryland.
