Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News host Lara Trump there is room for her father-in-law President Donald Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore Saturday night.
Burgum joined Fox’s My View with Lara Trump Saturday to discuss a number of topics related to his department and what he has accomplished on behalf of Trump throughout two months on the job.
The former North Dakota governor noted the Gulf of Mexico had been renamed to the Gulf of America and also praised Trump for recently renaming a wildlife preserve after a 12-year-old Texas girl who was murdered last year by an illegal migrant. The Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge in Chambers County, TX honors the slain child.
“To have the loss of a beautiful 12-year-old daughter, it’s incomprehensible to have such a tragedy committed by people that should not have been in our country,” Burgum said. “In our country, there are legally violent criminals to do that. So for President Trump to invite her sister and her mother, Alexis, to be at his address to Congress and really say, hey, we’re not going to let this happen to anybody else.
Lara Trump then pressed her guest about Mount Rushmore and whether he sees any room on the monument for her father-in-law alongside former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
“The Department of Interior is in charge of the National Park Service,” she said. “The National Park Services is in charge of Mount Rushmore. A lot of people wonder! Will we ever see President Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore? What do you think?”
“Well,” Burgum replied, “they certainly have room for it there.”
