Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told CNN's State of the Union on Sunday that the country's 250th birthday is a "nonpartisan event" — one day after President Trump publicly called for replacing its concert lineup with a "Make America Great Again rally."
Host Dana Bash pushed back. "Trump called it a 'Make America Great Again rally,'" she said. "Which is the name of his political organization."
"Well, it is," Burgum replied. "But that's something I think we all can certainly understand."
In a Saturday Truth Social post, Trump suggested scrapping the Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall after a wave of artists pulled out.
"We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who ****** ody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain," he wrote.
