kicked off the long independence day weekend with a trip to mount rushmore but instead of making a claim for national unity at a monument honoring for us president trump attacked protesters who want to take down monuments honoring slave traders and confederate general so. angry mobs trying to tear down statues of our founders defaced our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. many of these people have no idea why they're doing this but some know exactly what they are doing they think the american people are weak and soft and submissive. but know the american people are strong and prout trumps tone was angry he accused anti-racism protesters of engaging in quote far left fascism and he vowed to not

just prosecute statue talk lawyers but to also build a new monument on during the people he called true american heroes they want to silence 6. but we will not be silenced. except for a reference to health care workers at the start of his speech trump said nothing about the covert $1000.00 pandemic he's already been criticized for bringing together in a tight space $7500.00 spectators with no physical distancing or required face mask keeps public health officials say the event could accelerate the spread of covert 19 states such as florida texas arizona and california are recording thousands of new cases each day and the national death toll it's near 130008 top administration official is urging people to be extra careful stay fixed feet from others when we can and when we can stay 6 feet from others

doing it as you will notice without a mask everybody on that stage and most of the people seen him in the audience the mass on a day in which we have again broken national records for folks testing positive and even we've learned in the last hour the girlfriend of one of the president's children one of his sons has herself tested positive so i think this was tended to be very much red meat for his supporters people in an area like this and it was even by trump in standards rather rhetorical a bombastic as having you know light and protesters people who symbolize the values that those who are great presidents symbolized he's likely in them to fascists and totalitarians somehow and here is what is befuddling that he somehow going to attract with the many independents out there particularly suburban american women college educated women who did vote twice for barack obama then for trump and might
