Noem says she’ll try again for the Mount Rushmore fireworks

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem announced Tuesday that she would again attempt to hold fireworks over Mount Rushmore to celebrate Independence Day following President Joe Biden’s announcement that the White House would have its own “independence hosted by the Virus’ bash. The National Parks Service denied the state’s motion to hold the pyrotechnic show in March, arguing that fireworks caused safety concerns at the memorial, local Indian tribes objected to the celebration being held on land they hold sacred and a mass gathering could still defy coronavirus precautionary measures. To overturn that decision, the Republican governor wrote a letter to the president, beat Biden in the media and sued the US Department of the Interior.
