'It’s called erasing history': Internet erupts as Sean Hannity reports on Biden admin's decision to remove William Penn’s statue

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The National Park Service has disclosed its intentions to dismantle the statue of William Penn in a Philadelphia park, which commemorates his contributions to the founding of Pennsylvania and is located at his former residence.

The proposed "rehabilitation" for Welcome Park aims to create a more inviting, precise, and inclusive experience for visitors, as stated in an NPS news release.

The strategy entails enriching the interpretation of Native American history in Philadelphia and has been formulated in collaboration with representatives from the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.

In response to this development, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity utilized X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the news with his 6.4 million followers, sparking widespread frustration and a variety of opinions across the internet.
