Agreed. The show is completely fake.
They all are fake.
Most of these shows are completely fake. Just like the ones about moonshine and everything else. Heck, even “Pawn Stars” is more fake than real.
All reality shows are terrible, but if the show is a fake, then why should the governor care? It isn’t because he cares about the Amish; he cares about the huring the tourism business. People think the Amish are “cute” and come to see them much like they visit a zoo.
Actually, the Amish are a cult, but that’s their business.
