National Park Service belittles President Trump on official Twitter account, forced to apologize
Newz Sentinel ^ | 1/21/2017 | Staff

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service purposefully raised hell on its official government Twitter account last Friday during the Inauguration Ceremony when the NPS re-tweeted a tweet belittling the newly elected President.

The original tweet, made by Binyamin Appelbaum, a New York Times correspondent, read, “Compare the crowds: 2009 inauguration at left, 2017 inauguration at right” and featured a biased split image of Obama’s 2009 Inauguration vs. Trump’s 2017 Inauguration.

Abolish the NPS after ceding all national lands to the states in which they're located. The employees need to find out what it's like scrounging around for jobs.

They are just pissed off because the incoming Dept. of Interior Secretary is saying he wants to move the Dept. out west which is something we’ve been lobbying to happen for years. Big changes coming folks. So happy I want to cry. About the numbers... I was there. Fir the inauguration and unfirtunately I got trapped in the million wacko women march. There were lots of people but the women’s march were more people I have seen in one ares than I have ever seen in my life. I will write about it later.

These are the same biased bastards who built walls blocking views of public sites during Obama’s planned government shutdown.

National Park Service belittles President Trump on official Twitter account, forced to apologize......

Just following in the footsteps of the creator of the PBS series on US NTL Parks, Ken Burns.

Burns delivered an unprecedented scurrilous attack on President Trump that could be seen as treasonous in nature.

He should be banned from all activities connected to our ntl parks.

no of course not

America’s national parks are truly national treasures and should be preserved for the people.

To advocate otherwise is just foolish

Just to think that several weeks ago I was not only ill but down in the dumps when I thought that I might die and the Hillary scourge and scum might be ensconced in the White Hut.

Imagine, if you will, my current state of euphoria and downright glee that my children and grandchildren now will not be forced to live under communism.

Hooray for President Donald J. Trump!

Is this the same National Park Server that (on 0bama's order) went out and actively blocked off access to monuments, forests, parks and even park benches, citing "Government Shutdown"?

This would be the same park service who blocked access of veterans to the Veterans’ Memorial.
Fire the entire lot of them.

My pond is not your national treasure. It is my pond. Local people and local government decide about local issues, not a vast left wing conspiratorial, acquisitive government. Pristine wilderness belongs to the people who inhabit it, not some band of neurotic nutcases who think squirrels have more rights than farmers.
There is absolutely no Constitutional justification for federal land ownership.

The National Park Service kept doddering Old World War II veterans out of the World War II Memorial.

it was the last chance many of these men had to visit, many of them were in WHEELCHAIRS.

it’s a dishonorable organization that should at least have all of its guns taken away from it. if they want to resign because they feel unsafe, then that helps us.

a dishonorable organization..!!

The Park Service always claims to be short of personnel. Yet the Park Service had plenty of personnel to block the hotel concessionaire 24/7 from operating his business during the government shutdown

The Republicans failed to stand up for the Amerian people during this travesty.

The National Park Service have become the Brownshirts for the liberal government workers. Most of them are condescending arrogant liberals that wish to keep the average US citizen off public lands and monuments. They are for gun control and have a far left view of government. They are supposed to serve the public but they have the mentality that they are not for the public but for a privileged few. I hope this gets corrected.

Then amend the Constitution; the FedGov is only allowed to own land for “forts and other needful buildings”. They shouldn’t own 1/2 the state of Utah, 80% of Nevada, 1/2 of Idaho, 1/2 or Oregon, and so on.

These are the people that closed off our national treasurers during the fake government shutdown.

Fire them.

Doesn’t the NPS manage land in the Arctic Wildlife Reserve?
