President Donald Trump said he is moving the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, hours after N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said he couldn’t guarantee that the August event would be at full capacity due to the coronavirus.
In a tweet Tuesday night, Trump said: “Had long planned to have the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place I love. Now, @NC_Governor Roy Cooper and his representatives refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena - Spend millions of dollars, have everybody arrive, and then tell them they will not be able to gain entry.
“Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. Would have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of ..millions of dollars, and jobs, for the State.

I'm relieved. When the DNC was here it was a week of hell getting around. Good luck to whoever gets the convention. Gonna be hard to put it together on short notice.

2 weeks ago - Coronavirus is killing thousands of americans and if you dont wear a mask youre basically hitler and our brave "essential worker" police officers will arrest you (you may go ahead and bang on a frying pan in appreciation of our courageous cops now)

1 week ago - Get used to social distancing and closed stores because Coronavirus is here to stay... at least until sometime in the next 12+ months (or never) when Doctor Bill Gates can develop a vaccine and save us.

Now - Go out join one of the giant groups of people who have been packing themselves into your downtown like sardines in a can, all while screaming/shouting/chanting/singing at the top of your lungs for hours on end... and no of course churches are still unable to re-open, those dirty christians might sing to each-other or hold AA meetings.

The DNC would probably do the same.

The Republicans will always have Idaho.
