The United States Senator Marsha Blackburn took up cudgels for Donald Trump's Fourth of July speech that liberals say was disruptive rather than bringing people together. Some conservatives, on the other hand, remained tight-lipped about the president's recently concluded speech.
On July 5, Blackburn deemed the president's speech as one of his best and lauded the president's message for making the American people remember that they are unique. Insisting that it was one of Trump's best speeches during an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, the Tennessee Republican said it was appropriate for him to remind the people that they were unique and that they can either bet on hope or bet on fear.
Blackburn said the United States gives its people the ability to do whatever they want to do to dream, adding that those are big dreams and make them come to fruition. On July 4, the president vowed to safeguard America's values from agitators, looters, leftists, and other enemies within his Fourth of July speech, packed with all the complaints and aggressiveness of his political rallies.
Trump said his administration is in the process of defeating people with no clue about what they are doing, along with the radical left, the agitators, and the anarchists. He emphasized that they will not allow protesters and demonstrators to destroy the country's statues, its history, or brainwash America's future generation.
He vowed to defend, protect, and preserve the country's way of life, which started in 1492 when navigator Christopher Columbus discovered America. Trump remained mum about the 130,000 people who have reportedly succumbed to the deadly coronavirus pandemic in the United States, Fox News reported.
While Blackburn praised Trump's speech, many Republicans opted to steer clear of the president's bragging in his speech and a similar one at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota on July 3. During her appearance on CNN‘s State of the Union, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa was asked about the president's rhetoric, but she averted the question by noting that there was a great level of frustration across the country.
During his speech at Mount Rushmore, Trump pushed for establishing a National Garden of American Heroes. He later passed an executive order to put forward the idea that will pay tribute to some of the most memorable figures in American history, and represent a collection of the greatest Americans to ever live.
The group comprises the Founding Fathers, civil rights pioneers, presidents, and aviation innovators, generals, and explorers. Trump’s original list does not feature any Hispanic, Asian-American, or Native American individuals.
