If President Donald Trump delivers his nomination address at Gettysburg National Military Park, it could involve an outdoor crowd of no more than 250 the state-imposed limit due to the pandemic.
The Gov. Tom Wolf administration late Monday responded to the possibility of Trump coming to Gettysburg to deliver his address following his formal nomination as the Republican presidential candidate on Aug. 27.
Trump announced on Twitter on Monday afternoon he is considering delivering the address at Gettysburg. He said its been narrowed down to two possible locations, with the White House being the other.
He wrote We will announce the decision soon!
A spokesman for the military park and Eisenhower National Historic Site on Monday afternoon said he didnt have details on things such as what the address would entail in terms of number of people involved, whether it would be open to the public and whether any special permission is required.
Trumps campaign didnt immediately respond to questions.
The Wolf administrations statement noted the park is managed by the National Park Service. But it said all gatherings in Pennsylvania, including those held on federal land, should abide by the Commonwealths restrictions, which have proven to mitigate COVID-19.
It said limitations on large gatherings and requiring face masks in public places has allowed Pennsylvania to escape the severe COVID-19 resurgences happening in many states.
We hope and expect that the President will abide by these commonsense restrictions that will protect the health and safety of the community around Gettysburg and throughout Pennsylvania, the statement said.
Acceptance speech at Gettysburg?
Little Round Top is literally a hill to die on for the 1st Amendment!
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Federal land Mr. Wolf, federal land.
Can democrats sink any lower?
It’s just a mostly peaceful protest.
Please, Mr. President....your Pennsylvania supporters have suffered too long under the oppression inflicted by Tommie the Commie Wolf.
Deliver a huge F.U. and shatter our chains!
No place more fitting than Gettysburg to inaugurate a “new birth of freedom!”
Right, just call it a protest!
If the PA Governor is going to set conditions,, just down the road is Antietam, n Maryland.. the bloodiest day in which Americans died in battle. Interestingly, the Maryland monument there commemorated both Union and Confederate soldiers.
Tell Wolf to go **** his ambisexual Health Secretary.
These governors need to have their facial features rearranged.
Trump needs to do the Burg and give Wolf and his tranny butt buddy the big F U.
We would totally go.
It's owned by the feral gubmint. Wolf has no say whatsoever.
It’s a delayed funeral, like the progs had for John Lewis...
.
Chief Little Wolf ... pound sand
“it could involve an outdoor crowd of no more than 250 the state-imposed limit due to the pandemic.”
I would ignore their limit. The President’s team could later say they assumed the limit was 250 ... thousand. Trump should turn it into a large open air rally.
Couple things
Hold pods of 250 people all over Gettysburg
After election:
Never, ever go to theater or Lincoln Center
Last guy who spoke there didn’t head Brian William’s advice
