John Davidson: 1620 Project Gives Americans The U.S. History They Are Hungry For

The Federalist Political Editor John Daniel Davidson says most Americans reject the premise that their country is “irredeemably racist and evil.”

“Americans are not on board with the 1619 narrative,” Davidson said on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” Wednesday. “They’re not on board with being told that their country is irredeemably racist and evil.”

“I think they’re hungry to learn about the true founding of America, which was not 1619, it was 1776. And 1620 planted the seeds for 1776,” Davidson added.

The Federalist’s 1620 Project, Davidson said, was created to expand Americans’ understanding of the nation’s founding principles and combat the “historical revisionism” peddled by the left. more
