Every once in a while, Democrats let Americans know how they really feel about their country.

And a Twitter post Monday night was one of those occasions, when the official account of the Democratic National Committee published — then deleted — a tweet implicitly deriding Mount Rushmore, a tribute to some of the nation’s greatest heroes, as a triumphalist monument built on lands Native Americans held sacred, and an Independence Day celebration as nothing more than a “white supremacy” rally.

It was enough to raise the question of whether Democrats consider themselves “Americans” at all.

Naturally, the Twitter post was directed at President Donald Trump and his plans to celebrate the Independence Day weekend Friday at the South Dakota symbol, which bears the images of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

The Democrat Party just deleted this tweet attacking Mount Rushmore and referring to a Independence Day rally as a "white supremacist" rally
