RNC Seeks DC Permit For Fireworks Over Washington Monument After Trump’s Acceptance Speech At WH

Glorious Leader must be celebrated at all times:

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has submitted an application to conduct a fireworks display near the Washington Monument next week after President Trump concludes his acceptance speech at the White House.

The National Park Service received the application last Friday, and its approval is still pending, according to Mike Litterst, chief of communications for the agency.

The RNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the application indicates the organization hopes to conduct a brief fireworks show around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 27. The application notes that the event could attract protesters.

The Republican National Committee applied for a fireworks permit at the Washington Monument for 11:30 pm on August 27, following President Trump’s expected re-nomination acceptance speech from the White House, according to an RNC official – @albamonica reports.
