Left-wing rioters are blocking the road to the Mount Rushmore monument in the hopes of preventing President Donald Trump from attending an Independence Day celebration event. A fireworks display is currently planned at the monument to American heritage, which features stone profiles of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln carved into a mountain.

Police and National Guard personnel have responded to the roadblock, although at least an hour after their arrival it does not appear as if the authorities have completely cleared the rioters trying to disrupt political expression.

Some initial arrests of anarchists and left-wing tyrants have occurred, and it appears as if the police do intend to prevent the authoritarian Left from sabotaging the patriotic free expression of those who disagree with them.

Rioters have set up vans on a road leading to the monument and slashed the tires of the vehicles, hoping to create a physical obstacle to those seeking to reach the site. National Guard and police may have to resort to the use of tow trucks and bulldozers in order to open access to Mount Rushmore on account of the leftist rioters’ sophisticated political intimidation operation.

Cultural liberal fanatics have swiftly pivoted from Confederate statues and images to attacking mainstream American heritage itself, including the iconic Mount Rushmore bas-relief, which is known not only as one of the most significant expressions of American history and heritage, but also sometimes called one of the artistic wonders of the world.
The celebration of American heritage is still planned for 7:10 EST, despite the leftist rioters’ act of dastardly intolerance and anti-American bigotry.
TONIGHT—President @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS visit Mount Rushmore and attend the fireworks celebration!
