Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked a damning question of Donald Trump’s administration on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday in response to its ongoing attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Clinton hit back at a news report that the National Park Service has removed and reduced references to revered abolitionist Harriet Tubman from a page on its website detailing her Underground Railroad network that assisted the enslaved to freedom.
The former first lady, who Trump defeated in the 2016 election, shared a screenshot of CNN’s story about the online alterations, which were first reported by The Washington Post.
“What’s next from this administration, fan videos of Jefferson Davis?” asked Clinton, sarcastically referring to how Trump’s White House could celebrate the Confederate president.

Clinton’s remark came as the Trump administration continues to roll back DEI initiatives across federal agencies. Online, the Pentagon has purged (and then restored some) pages detailing the military service of women, people of color and from the LGBTQ community. The Trump White House has dubbed DEI programs as “illegal and immoral discrimination.”
