Virginia health officials believe your upcoming rally in Newport News poses a "severe" threat to the health of our Commonwealth, @realDonaldTrump.

You can find somewhere else to host your pity party in a petri dish. Virginia isn't interested.

"...your pity party in a petri dish."

1. To paraphrase their tourism slogan: Virginia isn't for haters.

3. I saw Obama in Newport News

I lived in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia for many years after I left the Navy. I remember when Obama went there, I was so excited to see him, so was thousands and thousands and thousands of other Obama supporters. I got there early and there still was an enormous line down the block and around the corner, down the street, around another corner, on and on.

drumpf and only 4,000 supporters... what a joke. Not sure why that traitor is headed to a Navy town... full of losers and suckers right?

Wonder if he'll bring that up?

5. I was lucky to see him speak in person

when he was in St. Louis at a rally for Claire McCaskill on her first run for the Senate. He was a new Senator from Illinois at the time and it was long before he ever announced his run for the White House. As we were walking back to our car I said to my wife "He is running for President."

6. He ignored it.

He is in Newport News this evening with 4000 magats in attendance. That city is where I work. Im not setting foot in the office anymore until the spike in covid due to that spreader evdnt is under control.

8. Has here ever paid those cities?

Does he still owe El Paso and Tulsa for the costs of those rallies? Freaking ripoff

11. When are local officials going to stand up to him?

Tell him to limit crowd size, social distancing, masks required by all including him, temperature checks to
get in, etc, etc or no rally. And use local law enforcement to back their requirements.
