House Dems call on Trump to cancel plans to speak at July Fourth celebration
By Cristina Marcos - 06/06/19 11:42 AM EDT

A trio of top House Democrats called on President Trump to cancel a planned speech at the Lincoln Memorial during the national Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall, saying it would inject partisanship into a traditionally apolitical event.

In a Thursday letter to Trump, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and Environment Chairwoman Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) warned Trump's plan to deliver a speech "could create the appearance of a televised, partisan campaign rally on the Mall at public expense."


They further cautioned a speech by the president during an annual event that already involves "substantial" logistics, security and cost to the federal government would impose further complications. The Democrats suggested Trump schedule a speech on another day or at another venue.

"Rather than spending millions of taxpayer dollars on what could appear to be a campaign rally, those funds would be far better spent addressing the Department’s maintenance backlog," the lawmakers wrote, referencing the Department of the Interior.

Every day the democommies come up with another way to trash Trump. There seems to be no level to which they won't sink.

Maybe they're afraid he'll say, "God, this holiday sucks!  All this 'national pride shit' gets on my nerves.”

Maybe some of the leading podcasters could come to a DC venue, and take turns interviewing Trump on live streaming video.

Shut out CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC etc.

??? I would hope that you are kidding.  It is most appropriate for the President of the United States to speak at a 4th of July Celebration, more so than any DEM, including Pelosi.

I’d love that. An interview with Joe Rogan would be entertaining as heck (but fraught with peril).

They are displaying how afraid they are of Trump.
They're scared to death of the guy.
Nothing could possibly be more appropriate than the President speaking on 4th of July.
That is, according to anyone who loves America.
Which automatically excludes all Democrats.

Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
