Right-wing Twitter trolls are boiling in a stew of hatred over this 150-year-old American hero
The news that abolitionist Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 was met on social media with both celebration and skepticism.
The icon of freedom and courage was chosen to become the first black American to appear on U.S. currency, and the former president was chosen for removal instead of Alexander Hamilton, the former Secretary of the Treasury who appears on the $10 bill.
Twitter conservatives greeted the news with bewilderment and simmering anger.

Removing a white from $20 bill to replace with a mudskin is an act of #WarOnWhites. Wake up, white man.#HarrietTubman

#HarrietTubman on the $20 is clearly a conspiracy to force a cashless society. Race aside, she’s ugly

This just aint right. Femnism, soacialism and afffirmative action. All against God #whitegenocide— Dathan Scroggs (@DathanScroggs) April 20, 2016
Andrew Jackson was one of my favorite presidents. Why couldn’t Harriet Tubman be on the 50 instead?

If Harriet Tubman is going to be on the $20 than can we put Ronald Reagan on the $50?

Replace a president with Harriet Tubman for no reason? Okay https://t.co/gyaxUYrGNE

Harriet Tubman should have been on the $20 Food Stamp.

Trump ‘does have a tendency to lash out’: Texas Republican tells president to ‘temper’ his rabid impulses
Republicans are concerned about President Donald Trump's rabid impulses and are urging self-discipline and constraint, two words that aren't typically associated with the president.
In a Politico report, Republican officials explained that they agree with the attorney general that Trump should calm down and let him handle things.
“The president does have a tendency to lash out, and I think in this case he would be well advised to try to temper that,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). “Because I think Bill Barr is his best path on seeing that justice is done in terms of all of these various investigations, including the counterintelligence investigation and the lead-up to the Mueller report.”
Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) lost when she ran in 2018, but was given a participation prize by the Republican governor who had to appoint someone to cover Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) seat until it came up for reelection in 2020. Recent polling shows that McSally is in serious trouble.
Highground Public Affairs Consultants published their latest poll showing McSally has fallen significantly after the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Going into the impeachment, McSally was polling at 42 percent at PPP polls, RealClearPolitics reported. However, the new data today shows McSally struggling to break 40. Instead, she's hovering around 39 percent, while her opponent, Mark Kelly is at 46 percent.

‘The guardrails are gone’: Experts horrified as Trump hands top intelligence agency to ‘rude Twitter troll’
Following President Donald Trump's decision to appoint U.S. Ambassador to Germany and far-right political loyalist Richard Grenell as acting Director of National Intelligence, experts expressed their horror at yet another erosion of federal institutions in favor of the president's cult of personality:
This is a national disgrace. Grenell would be the least qualified intelligence chief in US history. https://t.co/WliTv6DHTe
