Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, calling for a national "atonement" over the treatment of Native Americans, vowed Monday to rescind medals of honor for those who fought against them and even take down President Andrew Jackson's portrait from the Oval Office if she's elected.
The spiritual author, who has gained a devoted following in recent weeks for her memorable debate performances, called for a “new era of American history” with Native Americans during an appearance at the Frank LaMere Native American Presidential Forum.
"We can atone. We can make amends," Williamson said. "And if and when I'm president of the United States, we will. We will begin by taking that picture of Andrew Jackson off the wall of the Oval Office."
Jackson’s presidency was notoriously marked by the signing of the Indian Removal Act, which resulted in violent conflicts between Native Americans and the U.S. government amid the relocation of thousands of Native Americans.
Williamson called the portrait "one of the greatest insults."
She then took aim at another symbol from that historic period, vowing to withdraw military medals of honor for those who fought against Native Americans.

I enjoy watching the neo-Nazi democrats committing political suicide.
Well, I wouldn't be too worried about that happening yet.
First, Williamson, won't ever be elected president.
Two, And if she was, she would need congressional approval for this lame-brain idea. That would be a heavy lift by itself.
Three, there are no Red Flag laws passed yet and that's an uphill battle too.
Four, Medal of Honor recipients can't have any guns taken from then if they have been dead for over a 100 years.
What I'd worry about, is why is our society considering this new age wacko for president to begin with?
Well, then I was right.
A goose's brain is definitely bigger than a pea.

Yeah. Citizenship should have been enough. Heck, even a 99 year lease, like was done with Hong Kong would have been preferable.
Fair enough.
Let’s strip the Buffalo Soldiers from all history books and museums.
LOL, It looks more like the former mayor of Burlington VT.
Imagine what the Japs or the ChiComs would’ve done to them because eventually they would’ve found their way to the West Coast and then inland
If the superior Europeans hadnt got here first
I found one film by Aleksandr Nevsky that was naive, but very entertaining. It involved an old war between the Swedes and the Rus.
You have a good grasp of history. There was also the Fort Mims massacre in Alabama - the largest massacre of White settlers by Indians. Over 500 were killed by Creek Indians, which included many men, women, and children. The Creek Indians were also armed by the British. This spread absolute panic throughout the Southeast. This is when General Andrew Jackson enters the picture.
It is sad to see such a great President as Jackson smeared by leftist Bolshevik scum. We are like Mother Russia @100 years ago. All heroes of the past will be air brushed from our history. Eventually this will include us as well.
The phrase, “God willing and the Creek don’t rise.” originates with a missionary who was writing to a friend about their anticipated future reunion iff the Creek Indians whom he was among didn’t rise and kill him.
Good story. The Creeks were definitely on the list of Indians not to mess with. I say this as someone who had a Cherokee Great-Grandfather.
