WH Encourages July 4 Celebration, Except At This Place...
The Biden administration is urging state and local officials across America to hold Independence Day celebrations this year — but is standing firm in preventing a fireworks display from being held at Mount Rushmore.
Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem tweeted out a letter Tuesday from the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs that read in part: “Thanks to the Biden administration’s whole of government pandemic response, the United States has made incredible progress in vaccinating Americans and getting our country back on track …
“On July 4, because of our strong response, America will mark independence from the virus by celebrating with events across the country …,”
Our latest stories...What a hypocrite. President @JoeBiden wants "a summer of freedom" where we "mark independence from the virus by celebrating with events across the country."
