The radical left's assault on American history has reached a new low, as security cameras captured Nebraska Democrat state Senator Machaela Cavanaugh physically removing portraits of America's founding fathers from the state capitol building in Lincoln.

The shocking footage shows Cavanaugh systematically taking down images from a PragerU-designed exhibit celebrating America's 250th anniversary, which featured portraits of Declaration of Independence signers and prominent women in American history. Because apparently, honoring the men who gave us freedom is now considered controversial to today's Democrats.

Republican Governor Jim Pillen didn't mince words in his response: "Celebrating America during our 250th year should be a moment of unity and patriotism, not divisiveness and destructive partisanship." But when has the modern Democrat party ever chosen unity over their woke ideology?

Social media erupted as Americans witnessed this brazen attack on our heritage. Twitter user @DirtyCitizen captured the outrage perfectly: "Delusional Democrat Machaela Cavanaugh CAUGHT REMOVING FOUNDERS' PORTRAITS from state capitol!"

Another user, @Maxwell35455885, revealed key details about the perpetrator: "Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, Democrat, 47y/o, a BA in Sociology and an MPA. Currently under investigation by the Sheriff for removing Artwork at the capitol building."

"Republicans must learn that they need to vote in EVERY election," the user added - a sobering reminder of what happens when patriots stay home on election day.

This isn't just vandalism - it's a coordinated effort to erase American history one portrait at a time. While President Trump works to restore American greatness in his second term, Democrats like Cavanaugh are literally tearing down tributes to the very men who founded this great nation.

The Left's War on 1776 Continues

From removing statues to rewriting textbooks, the radical left has made it clear: if they can't cancel 1776 entirely, they'll chip away at our founding principles piece by piece. Cavanaugh's stunt is just the latest example of Democrats choosing ideology over patriotism.

Patriots across America are asking: When will we say enough is enough? Our founders deserve better than having their legacies literally torn down by radical Democrats who despise the very freedom those men died to secure.

This is absolutely disgraceful! These Democrats won't stop until they've erased every trace of our nation's founding principles. What's next - removing the Constitution from display?

Exactly right! They're trying to rewrite history one portrait at a time.

Does anyone know which specific portraits were removed? I'd like to contact my representatives about this - we can't let them sanitize our history without consequences.

I saw something similar happening at my local courthouse last year - they quietly moved portraits of Washington and Jefferson to some back hallway. Thank God someone caught this senator on camera!

The fact they're doing it quietly shows they know it's wrong.

Same thing happened in my town! We need more people documenting this stuff.
