What was said

"We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Nations. The designers of Obama's temple, with consent of the city, seized 20 acres of public land in Jackson Park in order to build this monstrosity. So Democrats stole a lot of land in order to build a giant temple. And then when they build the temple with taxpayer assistance, they solemnly inform you that they're really sorry about stealing land hundreds of years ago."

The $800 million Obama Presidential Center opened in Chicago after seizing 20 acres of public parkland while staff earning up to $750,000 deliver land acknowledgments to Potawatomi tribes. The same tribe massacred dozens of American settlers including women and children at Fort Dearborn in 1812, commemorated on Chicago's flag, yet receives honorary recognition at the temple opening.
