史密森尼协会将其艺术与工业大楼指定为备受争议的美国拉丁裔国家博物馆的永久馆址。批评人士称，此举将使该机构无需再就这座他们认为本就不该存在的博物馆与国会再起争执。
这一决定出台之际，史密森尼正面临各界对其历史展品的越来越多的审视。前布什政府国务院官员、长期批评该拉丁裔博物馆的迈克·冈萨雷斯认为，该博物馆的首展宣扬了极左翼世界观，而选择艺术与工业大楼则是为了避开国会山一场可能引发激烈争议的斗争。
“我们需要解雇史密森尼的领导层，”冈萨雷斯说，“我们需要取消这个拉丁裔博物馆的设立。应该撤销其授权，它本就不该存在。”

采访结束后不久，史密森尼的最高负责人、秘书朗尼·邦奇三世宣布退休，他在该机构工作了四十年，他的退休部分实现了冈萨雷斯的愿望。
冈萨雷斯在一份提交给福克斯新闻数字频道的传统基金会报告中分析了拉丁裔博物馆2022年的首展“¡Presente!”。今年7月，他还与美国国家历史博物馆馆长安西娅·哈蒂格一同在国会听证会上作证。
史密森尼方面拒绝就冈萨雷斯的报告或其言论向福克斯新闻数字频道置评。
冈萨雷斯认为，选址决定至关重要，因为与此前考虑的国家公园管理局场馆不同，史密森尼已经拥有艺术与工业大楼的控制权。
“他们想把这当作一种托词，”冈萨雷斯说，他认为该机构可以通过将博物馆设在自己已经掌控的场地，避免再次与国会发生争执。

冈萨雷斯分析了“¡Presente!”展览，认为一系列展板体现了他所说的反西方、反美国的世界观。他指出，展览中使用“我们没有越境，是边界越了我们”这一说法不符合历史事实，并表示这是那些批评移民执法的左翼人士的常用口号。
他说，这种表述主要从流离失所的角度解读美国的西进扩张，却掩盖了那些留在美国后来 acquired 的领土上、后来成为美国公民的墨西哥裔的历史。
“我想你今天的嘉宾应该就算其中之一吧，”他在谈到自己时说，“尽管我不会……到处自称西班牙裔。我为自己是古巴裔美国人而自豪。”

“他们营造了一个温床，一个滋生不满情绪的孵化器，针对这7000万（西班牙裔美国人）群体，”他说，萨里亚和另一位展出人物的案例就证明了这一点。
其中一个案例涉及奥兰多·莱特列尔，前马克思主义智利总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德治下的外交部长。

展览中的一张照片展示了莱特列尔1976年的一段话，谈及他在皮诺切特独裁统治下被监禁，以及后来以恢复人权为名获得“解放”。
“奥兰多·莱特列尔与美国毫无关系，除非算上他1976年在华盛顿特区死于汽车爆炸这一点，但我年纪够大，还记得当时他是左翼的标志性人物，”他说。
“这不是美国的故事。他能出现在这里的唯一原因，就是参与这个展览的策展人背叛了自己的身份……他们是马克思主义者。”

冈萨雷斯表示，他的父亲曾被古巴前“小独裁者”富尔亨西奥·巴蒂斯塔监禁，后者在1959年被菲德尔·卡斯特罗推翻。他说，该拉丁裔博物馆还严重歪曲了哈瓦那马列主义统治的真实历史。
“哈瓦那或许自1763年英国入侵以来就没经历过战争，但看起来却被地毯式轰炸了：社会主义给它来了一场地毯式轰炸。”
报告称，关于巴蒂斯塔的展览遗漏了卡斯特罗兄弟的专制统治，还展出了一幅嘲讽美国在里根时期伊朗门事件的漫画。冈萨雷斯指出，后者如今显得格外不合时宜，因为美国当时反对的丹尼尔·奥尔特加政权在数十年后重新掌权，且近期取消了选举。

Smithsonian move reignites ‘woke,’ ‘Marxist’ criticism as Latino museum avoids congressional approval
September 15, 2026 11:16am EDT / Fox News
Mike Gonzalez’s report argues the museum’s inaugural exhibition reflected anti-Western ideology and Marxist messaging
By Charles Creitz
As the Smithsonian locks in a permanent home for the museum, critics are revisiting exhibits featuring immigration, gender identity, U.S. intervention and figures tied to the political left.

The Smithsonian designated its Arts and Industries Building as the permanent home of the controversial National Museum of the American Latino, a move critics say will allow the institution to move forward without another congressional fight over a museum they argue should not exist.
The decision comes as the Smithsonian faces intensifying scrutiny over its historical exhibits. Mike Gonzalez, a former Bush State Department official and longtime critic of the Latino museum, argued its inaugural exhibition promoted a far-left worldview and said selecting the Arts and Industries Building was an effort to avoid a contentious Capitol Hill battle.
“We need to fire the Smithsonian leadership,” Gonzalez said. “We need to get rid of the Latino museum. It needs to be de-authorized. It should not exist.”

Shortly after the interview, his wish partially came true when the Smithsonian’s top official, Secretary Lonnie Bunch III, announced his retirement after four decades with the institution.
Gonzalez examined the Latino museum’s inaugural 2022 exhibition, “¡Presente!,” in a Heritage Foundation report shared with Fox News Digital. He also testified alongside National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig during congressional hearings in July.
The Smithsonian declined comment on Gonzalez’s report or his comments to Fox News Digital.
Gonzalez argues the location decision matters because the Smithsonian already controls A&I, unlike the National Park Service sites previously under consideration.
“They want to use this as kind of a ruse,” Gonzalez said, arguing that the institution can avoid another congressional fight by placing the museum on property it already controls.

Gonzalez examined “¡Presente!,” and argued that a series of panels reflected what he described as an anti-Western, anti-American worldview. He pointed to its use of the idea “we didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us” as historically inaccurate and said it is a favorite mantra of those on the left who criticize immigration law enforcement.
He said the language casts U.S. westward expansion primarily through the lens of displacement while obscuring the history of Mexicans who remained in territory acquired by the United States and later became American citizens.
“I guess your guest today would count as one of them,” he said of himself. “Even though I don’t… run around calling myself a Hispanic. I’m a proud American of Cuban heritage.”

His report also highlights exhibits dealing with gender identity, immigration and the veneration of Marxist luminaries and political figures. Speaking to Fox News Digital from Israel, he said such attacks on national identity would never “fly.”
One exhibit featured in Gonzalez’ report was titled “Jose Julio Sarria: Drag and Politics” and described Sarria as a “legendary drag performer [and] the first openly gay person to run for public office in the U.S.” Another panel featured a Cuban transgender HIV/AIDS activist who fled the country during the Mariel Boatlift.

“They create[d] a hothouse, an incubator of grievances among these 70 million [Americans of Hispanic descent],” he said, adding that Sarria and another featured figure prove that point.
That example involves Orlando Letelier, a foreign minister under former Marxist Chilean President Salvador Allende.

A photograph from the exhibition shows a 1976 quote from Letelier discussing his imprisonment under the Pinochet dictatorship and his later “liberation” in the name of restoring human rights.
“Orlando Letelier has nothing to do with America, other than the fact that he died in a car explosion in Washington D.C., in 1976, but I’m old enough to remember that he was a cause-celebre of the left [then],” he said.
“This is not an American story. The only reason he’s there is because the curators who worked in this exhibit betrayed who they are… They’re Marxists.”

Gonzalez, who said his father was imprisoned by Cuba’s former “tin-pot dictator” Fulgencio Batista before the leader was overthrown by Fidel Castro in 1959, said the Latino museum also does a rank disservice to the true history of Marxist-Leninist rule in Havana.
“Havana perhaps has not been at war since the British invasion of 1763 and yet it looks like it’s been carpet-bombed: It’s been carpet-bombed by socialism.”
The exhibit on Batista omits the oppressive reign of the Castro brothers and also features a cartoon mocking the U.S. for the Reagan-era Iran-Contra affair, the report said. Gonzalez noted the latter aged poorly because the Daniel Ortega regime the U.S. opposed in Nicaragua is back in power decades later and has recently eliminated elections.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., a Smithsonian Regent and someone who also fled Cuban socialism, said the institution is a “crown jewel” of the United States and should be held to that standard.
“The Congressman believes that the Smithsonian should be fair and balanced, aim for truth, and present both sides of the equation,” Gimenez spokesman Rey Anthony told Fox News Digital.
