YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMajority Report contributor Michael Brooks is hosting the show for Sam Seder today. In this clip, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke appeared on Fox and Friends and was forced to answer an utterly ridiculous queston from Brian Kilmeade regarding 9/11 memorials and Confederate statues. After being asked if 9/11 memorials may be taken down like today’s Confederate monuments, Zinke answered in the only way a red, white, and blue GOPer could.

---On the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, we start our day bringing your attention to a question by a Fox News host that is all at once hyper-political, hyperbolic and hyper-offensive to both 9/11 victims and those who are offended by Confederate memorials, by suggesting the two are somehow connected.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke joined “Fox & Friends” from Shanksville, Pa., where one of the planes in the terrorist attacks crashed, killing all on board. He and Vice President Pence were there to commemorate a new memorial for the 40 passengers who died trying to save more people. They will dedicate a wind chime tower with 40 chimes on it as part of ongoing construction of a memorial there, Zinke said.
“We're really reflecting on how great this country is and the sacrifices we made, and also talking about the change that 9/11 brought to all Americans,” he said.
To which Fox News host Brian Kilmeade asked: “Do you worry 100 years from now someone is going to take that memorial down like they are trying to remake our memorials today?”
Kilmeade appears to be comparing a memorial for 9/11 victims — heroes, really, some of whom wrested control of the plane from the hijackers and forced it to crash in a rural Pennsylvania field rather than into the U.S. Capitol — to Confederate War memorials around the country. In doing so, Kilmeade implies that some people will stop at nothing to erase the nation's history, because …? Well, I'm at a loss to explain the conclusion to his logic.---
