NC Gov is a Dem, and Charlotte is heavy blue… not sure why they would risk its citizens to host your hatefest.

What they should do is relocate the convention to the Dakotas where the governors are in full agreement with the regime. I hear word on the street is the “china virus” is all a big hoax.

No masks or social distancing and Trump will walk among his admirers like he has with the protesters who are carrying guns and claim this all a hoax.
