And the fact that he has called off the curfew, it’s almost like he wants there to be a problem, that he wants there to be physical violence, that somehow that will justify his rally. It is discouraging. I am really proud of all the people that were there today celebrating Juneteenth. They were socially distancing in a state that is really dangerous right now in terms of coronavirus. You won’t see that kind of social distancing at the rally. You’ll see people...

This dipshit fails to realize this is a peaceful voluntary gathering. Sorta like, “Enter at your own risk.” No one is forcing MAGA folks to participate in this rally.
