Republican state Sen. Chapin Rose is fighting back against a recent National Archives decision to begin placing warning labels on founding documents such as the U.S. Constitution.

“Enough is enough. A trigger warning on the Constitution?” Rose recently posted on Twitter. "Who the hell do these idiots think they are? ”

Among other founding documents also drawing warning labels are the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.  

Rose is far from being the only GOP lawmaker sounding off on the move.

“The National Archives have now put a disclaimer on their website that our historical documents may include Harmful Content,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) posted on Twitter. “They even slapped this warning on the Constitution!”

All of it is viewed as part of the National Archives’ much-discussed “institutional commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.”

Archive officials stress they are only flagging material viewed as “potentially harmful,” with staffers defining such as content that is “discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more.”

The same treatment is reserved for content espousing as “racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes.”

This development comes in the wake of a National Archives task force recently concluding that historical documents’ portrayal of the founding fathers was “too positive,” Reclaim the Net reported.
