President Trump celebrated the anniversary of
Constitution Day at the National Archives, along with Vice President Mike
Pence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, HUD Secretary Ben Carson and others.
“On
this very day in 1787, our Founding Fathers signed the Constitution at
Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It was the fulfillment of thousands of years
of Western Civilization. Our Constitution was the product of centuries of
tradition, wisdom, and experience,” President Trump said. “No political
document has done more to advance the human condition or propel the engine of
progress.”
The president shredded the radical left’s mission to
“demolish” institutions, while they wage a war on law enforcement:
“Yet
as we gather this afternoon, a radical movement is attempting to demolish this
treasured and precious inheritance. The left has launched a vicious and violent
assault on law enforcement – the universal symbol of the rule of law in
America. We are here today to declare that we will NEVER submit to tyranny. We
will reclaim our history, and our country, for citizens of every race, color,
religion and creed.”
President Trump touted the importance of patriotic
education, condemning the ahistorical 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory. He
plans to sign an executive order creating a commission to help patriotic
education flourish in America.
