Nevada Gov. Condemns Trump's 'Reckless And Selfish' Indoor Campaign Rally

As President Donald Trump pushed ahead with his first indoor campaign rally in months in Henderson, Nevada, on Sunday night, the state’s Gov. Steve Sisolak condemned him for selfishly endangering lives and hosting an event deemed high risk by his own government.

Gatherings of more than 50 people have not been permitted in Nevada since May, a guideline that was based on White House recommendations. Sisolak denounced Trump’s actions in an 11-part Twitter thread.

Thousands are out of work in Nevada because of the poor response of MF45’s COVID 19 in the first place. He knew back in January how highly contagious the virus was. And now because of that dangerous stupid rally the rates are going up and the casinos, hotels, and restaurants will take longer to Fully open.

What a great sledgehammer Biden can use to attack mf45 to gain votes in Nevada. Mf45’s rallIt’s has hurt Nevada trying to get rates down because of tonight’s super spreader event.

These selfish ego rallies can now be used against mf45 wherever he goes!

...and start arresting people for this. Neither a US President, nor those acting on his behalf, have the right to break any law they chose to break in order to put on a rally.

If I weren't worried about an ugly confrontation between police and the Secret Service, I'd say arrest Trump too.

and block access to it. they did not have to confront Trump. Just go after the venue and those responsible for it , set up police in front of the gates and close it

Stop just scolding after the fact.

If the law is on your side, the law is on your side. Enforce the law.
