Democrats Revise Their Own Party History
4th November 2023
The political left isn’t content to secretly smelt statues of Robert E. Lee or remove a plaque honoring the Confederate general’s horse, Traveller. Apparently, the Democrat Party’s own history is too problematic to bear.
Over the years, the Democrat Party’s official website has undergone some curious changes. The Spectator previously reported on the Democrat logo changing from sky blue to royal blue after President Joe Biden took office. It seems the “Our History” page is also getting whitewashed.
Since 2019, the history page has neglected to mention anything about the Democrat Party prior to the 1920s. In 2008, the Democrats proudly lifted up the “war hero” Andrew Jackson and the anti-elitist Thomas Jefferson as founding fathers of their party, noting that Jefferson served “two distinguished terms” as president. However, by 2012, the Democrats had scrubbed their history of page of any mention of those two men or, really, any of their history prior to the twentieth century. Now, the Democrat Party apparently got its legitimate start in 1920 with the women’s suffrage movement. Put that in your public school textbook!
