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."
Jacksons 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.

Enough, seriously, it is a group the ‘Rats are trying to appeal to again. Also the Basement dwelling Area 51 conspiracy theorists
None of that is “by mistake”
They have data and it is telling them native americans and basement dwellers are their best shot at the white house
Thanks. Forgot about that. It’s also the theme of the Nazi occupation of the eastern US in “The Man in the High Castle.”
Hahaha! Great post...:)
If I am not mistaken, President Trump is an admirer of Jackson.
TIME TO BRING THIS UP
During the period after the civil war known as reconstruction black legislators who were Republican were elected in the south To stop this democrats came up with poll taxes and Jim Crow laws
Maybe she would change the name of the city from Washington to Lunaticville? Has there ever been more pandering than the lunatic left candidates are doing at this very moment?
Is this historically ignorant dumba$$ going to rescind the Indian War related Medals of Honor earned by Native American scouts and African American soldiers or just those of white soldiers and scouts ?
Andy Jackson had to deal with many of his friends being killed and tortured by Native Americans for no reason other than them being vulnerable. He also adopted a Native American as his son and was pragmatic for the time in dealing with the Native American. These idiots have no idea how the Seminoles were used by the British to kill US citizens and how the US had to deal with it. It has become obvious that many of these people running for President have no grasp and knowledge of history.
NO human was native to this continent. All were immigrants or migrated from another continent. Additionally, if we accord prior occupants of any land mass special "first settler" treatment, then we would need to re-order the entire globe, including giving all of the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and part of Syria. And all of Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, South America, etc, etc would have to see its populations removed and descendants of the "original" settlers moved back there.
The one thing the majority of the Democratic candidates have in common is their extreme seriousness. They remind me of the guy in movies who runs for president of his high school class & promises everything: free ice cream, strippers, pizza everyday......etc, etc.
These people are much more ridiculous & with no sense of humor.
She will also bring back Andrew Jackson in a séance to lecture him.
Not about Andrew Jackson. Its about rewriting history and destroying our pride in our country. He who controls the past, controls the future; and he who controls the present, controls the past.

WHO?
They’re all playing to their small base and the media.
Whatever we supposedly did to them, was nothing that they weren’t doing to each other for many millennia previously.
And if you ever read what they really did to settlers and colonists they came across, you’d probably say they were justly treated that way.
The two “jeffreys” (Epstein and Dahmer) couldn’t hold a candle to most tribes.
Cupid stunt.
The dead ones? Still voting. Susquehanos and Delawares as well. Live ones? Ask the tribal leaders. Depends on how many times they get to vote under assumed names.
TEDIOUSNESS, NOT seriousness
