Daniela Guerrero, 25, lives here and came to the state fair expecting to see Republican-tinged programming.

“I think we heard a lot, like in our communities, that it was gonna be like a MAGA rally,” she said. Her friend Grace Guber, 27, echoed, “100%.”

“It, I think, has been very much nonpartisan,” Guerrero added. “The people showing up have been a mix of tourists just trying to, like, celebrate freedom.”

Someone should tell the "entertainers" that backed out they were lied to. Butt. their loss. Sadly the couldn't simply do their job. It wasn't politcal until the brought it up. And guess what "BiM". It still isn't.

More patriotsim and less "hateriotism"!

Unfortunately, because they are in a snit, they sat out of the 250th anniversary of the US.

They might do something during the 251, but won’t have the same significance.

The slob, wannabe “entertainers” that backed out were all “has beens” many of whom we didn’t even know were still alive. Martina McBride? Meh! I’ll take LEE GREENWOOD and his GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. any day over McBride’s “Independence Day”

I still have fond memories of the Bicentennial celebration in my Texas city.

John Fetterman and Dave McCormick overruled Little Joshie Shapiro’s kvetching fit and made sure Pennsylvania would have a booth represented at the event.

"Kind of surprised to see NC on the list"

I've heard/read that a lot of people from the NYC area have migrated to NC in the past few years. And while I'd like to think it is mostly conservatives fleeing the leftist tyranny there, I think there's likely a large contingent that are liberals, bringing their ignorant leftism with them.

You shouldn’t be. It’s inundated with far left transplants from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont.

Sad. Most of the original 13 colonies are in this snit and are too woke to see beyond their noses.

They should have all been turned into male/female porta-potties and tampon vending machines. Those states aren’t part of America no more anyway. They all are foreign Socialist freeloader colonies working to bring down America.

Just another example of journalism masquerading as reporting.

It’s what monopolized media does.

Sad that demonicRATS don’t love America as much as foreign soccer fans do.

Yep. I wrote Stein a SCATHING letter about it too. I positive he’ll read it and realize what a mistake he made! You bet! /S/
