New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) believes it’s not too risky for President Donald Trump to hold a campaign rally in his state on Saturday-but apparently not enough for the governor himself to attend.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, Sununu told reporters that even though he was going to “greet the President as the governor” when Trump arrives at Portsmouth for the outdoor rally, he himself won’t be going to the event.
“I will not be in the crowd of thousands of people, I’m not going to put myself in the middle of a crowd of thousands of people,” said the governor.
“Unfortunately, I have to be extra cautious as the governor, I try to be extra cautious for myself, my family,” he added.
But despite being “extra cautious” for his safety, Sununu stated that he still won’t be issuing a mask requirement on the day of the rally because he had not done so for the recent anti-police brutality protests in his state.
“To have a mask order for one and not the other isn’t fair, doesn’t make sense,” the governor said, also stating that he’s been “very clear over the past 48 hours that we expect folks to wear masks.”
The Trump campaign said in its announcement of the rally that masks will be provided to attendees that they are “strongly encouraged to wear.” However, the campaign will not be requiring them to do so.
Just goes to show you… it’s more than TX that has GOP cowards. Will he be making a video appearance?
The rally is perfectly safe for non-governors to attend. And if there were ever a gathering where masks weren’t required, it’s hey no fair for another gathering to have that requirement. Isn’t he the son of John Sununu who was reputed to be a huge brainiac? Because gotta say I’m not hearing that here.
Trump: 99% Harmless
So NH Gov…are you a “fraidy“ cat, a hypocrite or a snowflake?
Or have you read the new Covid forecast from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model (Used to be WH’s fave Covid forecaster)?
208,000 Covid death by November!
Who knew Trumpism is 100% BIGLY HARMFUL!
“reputed to be”
See, that’s the thing. Sununu pere had a reputation that was largely self-promoted. He was still a Republican hack, as is Sununu fils.
“Unfortunately, I have to be extra cautious as the governor, I try to be extra cautious for myself, my family,” he added.
Members of the great unwashed, however, are encouraged to throw themselves into local volcanoes, whether they have families not. This will appease the vengeful god Econimus, and lead to bountiful harvests of anti-choice judges for the new season.
