‘Sage the entire building’: The most hilarious reactions to Trump supporters sheltering at the ‘Blacksonian’ during Freedom 250

The event on the National Mall took a turn due to weather, forcing hundreds of attendees to shelter-in-place at the NMAAHC.

During the July 4 festivites on the National Mall, hundreds of people who attended the Freedom 250 celebration being held by President Donald Trump were ordered to shelter at the National Musuem of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). An early report from writer Sami Gold on the grounds at the NMAAHC showcased exactly how it looked inside, with some attendees even singing “God Bless America” to pass the time.

Naturally, social media had other thoughts about what was going on at the venue coloquially referred to as the “Black Smithsonian.”

On Sunday, as more video and reporting of the event began to surface, one Twitter user kept it very blunt about what needed to occur after the festivites were over.

“Dear National Museum of African American History and Culture, Sage the ENTIRE building,” the user wrote.

“I woulda started blasting Malcolm X speeches through the speakers, repeatedly,” another person wrote. The responses only snowballed from there, even as the Trump Administration once again has set its sights on the Smithsonian, arguing that leadership has embraced “extreme political activism.”

“Tales From The Hood?!” Okay, this one might have been a little too perfect.

If there is one being that is undefeated, it is indeed Mother Nature.

And they say irony is dead.
