(Democratic Underground) In a recent Breitbart interview, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said that if the country begins to remove Confederate monuments, soon, Native Americans will want the statues of anti-indigenous Union generals removed too — but he didn’t use the term “Native Americans.”

“Where do you start and where do you stop?” Zinke asked his Breitbart interviewer. “It’s a slippery slope. If you’re a native Indian, I can tell you, you’re not very happy about the history of General Sherman or perhaps President Grant.”

The argument, New York Magazine notes, is a novel twist on President Donald Trump’s “slippery slope” logic that posits the removal of Confederate monuments will lead to the removal of other monuments, such as those dedicated to past presidents.
