Nevada Governor Rips 'Reckless' Trump for In-Person Rally That Put 'Countless Lives in Danger'
Donald Trump violated several of Nevada’s state health mandates Sunday evening, holding an in-person indoor campaign rally attended by thousands of his supporters, the vast majority of whom were not required to wear protective masks. Just before Trump took the stage, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) unleashed on the president in a vicious Twitter tirade calling him “reckless and selfish,” for putting “countless lives in danger.”
Under Nevada’s pandemic-related health restrictions, gatherings in the state are limited to a maximum of 50 people, a number that was surpassed many times over by rally attendees despite local authorities in Henderson warning the campaign verbally and in writing they were required to abide by Sisolak’s directives.
“The President appears to have forgotten that this country is still in the middle of a global pandemic,” the governor wrote in a lengthy Twitter thread.
“Early on in this crisis, when it came time to exhibit real leadership and make difficult decisions to protect the American people, he failed to develop a unified national response strategy. To put it bluntly: he didn’t have the guts to make tough choices — he left that to governors and the states. Now he’s decided he doesn’t have to respect our State’s laws. As usual, he doesn’t believe the rules apply to him.”
