It's not really cherry picking though and it is blaming native Americans. The dam isn't the problem, living in and overpopulating an area that has an entire ecosystem based on burn renewal is the problem.
It was a secondary comment and not entirely a finger pointing at native Americans.
It's like saying, "my house is a mess because my partner didn't clean and the cat shit on the floor and the trash wasn't changed" and saying that I'm blaming the trash not being changed for the whole house being messy. The headline is misleading and cherry picking. An omission of the full truth.
We won't grow properly if we are just paralleling the opposition with half truths.
It's not at all misleading he's quite literally blaming native Americans. You're the one contorting yourself into knots to say he's not being a racists shithead.
