SD Gov. Noem Slams Biden Admin Decision to Close Mt. Rushmore for Fourth of July — ‘They Don’t Want to Celebrate America or Freedoms’
Breitbart ^ | 06.05.2021 | Jeff Poor

Thursday, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) spoke about the Biden administration’s decision to close Mount Rushmore for the Fourth of July festivities, a contrast to a year earlier when then-President Donald Trump spoke before a fireworks display.

The South Dakota Republican slammed the move, claiming it was part of the “radical left’s agenda.”

“You know, the decision was really arbitrary,” she said. “That’s why we’ll be appealing this decision, and the fight isn’t over. There wasn’t specific reasons that had credibility, and we call this an unlawful act to not make sure that we can conduct our celebration on July 3 at Mount Rushmore like we did last year.

“This is part of the radical left’s agenda,” Noem continued. “They don’t want to celebrate America or freedoms. They’re pushing critical race theory. They’re pushing the 1619 Project. And this is just another one of those battles to erase our trust, honest, and patriotic history in this country.”

Indoor NBA playoff crowds of 15K are allowed by Deep Blue governors but Deep Blue Biden doesn’t allow an outdoor patriotic ceremony in Deep Red SD.

Trump had a July 4th rally at the Mt. All memory of Trump must be erased.

“You know, the decision was really arbitrary,” she said. “That’s why we’ll be appealing this decision, and the fight isn’t over. There wasn’t specific reasons that had credibility, and we call this an unlawful act...

That was the left's argument to stop the citizenship question on the census, that it was arbitrarily made. The judge wanted to see the process that was followed to decide to add the question.

I expect that standard to be gone when questioning Biden administration decisions.

Face it, the democratic party leadership is UNAMERICAN. It's that simple now. It's so far left, that even JFK and FDR wouldn't recognize it and abhor it.

They have open distain for the average citizen, treating the border hoppers better than us; letting them through UNTESTED FOR COVID, while we were in Lockdowns.

They left their own cities to burn for months during a pandemic

They supplied our enemy - Iran, while having a clear distain for our ally Israel.

They've almost destroyed girls sports, and are codifying election fraud as we speak (HR 1).

Question, how is any of this Virtuous as they claim to be?

No JFK and FDR would not know them as Democrats and would clearly ABORE the Democratic Leadership.

And You Should Too!

If the political parties and membership were reversed what would a Democrat Governor do? I’m thinking there’d be fireworks at Mt Rushmore just for spite, regardless if the Dem wanted to celebrate the country’s independence.

“...There wasn’t specific reasons that had credibility...”

I am aghast at this horrific grammar...I expect better from Breitbart or a Governor.

IF I owned a large parcel of land in that area, I would host the biggest July 4th Fireworks they would like to put on.

If you’re Noem, you slam Biteme.

If you’re Trump, you find a way to hold the fireworks celebration anyway.

Agreed. It is ridiculous to obey the bullying.

Just plan to do it.

Put her troops there now to hold it.

Everything she says is true. But she didn’t mind caving to transgender freaks to bring money to SD. I expect she’s objecting to this shutdown because it would negatively impact income to the state. She used to be someone who it seemed could sit in the Oval Office, but now I question her principles.

“...the greatest treason is to do the right thing for the wrong reason.”
