From the other thread:

The governor asked Trump Friday to “abide by COVID-19 mitigation guidance when visiting the commonwealth and forego holding unsafe rallies in Pennsylvania,” which he said would “help solve problems for Pennsylvanians instead of exacerbating public health risks in the commonwealth.”

And then, he turned really critical:

“It is gravely concerning that the president would insist on holding this event with blatant disregard for social distancing and masking requirements. His decision to bring thousands of people together in a tight space in the midst of a global pandemic caused by an airborne virus is flat out wrong. No matter what party you support, all Americans should be very concerned that the president has put headlines and publicity above the health and safety of our families and communities,” Wolf said in the statement issued by his office.

“... It is dangerous and disappointing that the president continues to ignore science and his own health advisors while putting the lives of those who support him at risk. The president has admitted to lying about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the meantime, our country has lost more than 200,000 lives on his watch. While we continue to see only tepid and contradictory attempts at leadership from the White House, families have lost loved ones, the economy has taken a massive hit and communities are crying out for help.

“Instead of spending his time on rallies, the president should return to Washington and deal with things that matter to Pennsylvanians, like unemployment assistance, state and local aid, hazard pay and a cohesive strategy for pulling the country out of this pandemic as quickly as possible,” the statement from Wolf continued.

“To hold this event is not just misguided, it is dangerous, it is manipulative and it is wrong.I would ask Pennsylvanians to think of the health and safety of their families and their communities before attending this event or any rally put on by the Trump campaign. And I would ask the president, for once, to put the health of his constituents ahead of his own political fortunes.”

How did the attempt by the Nevada governor to stop the Trump rally work out?
Trump went ahead anyway. He is the President. I'd like to see some deranged Dem governor try to stop him.
Say, didn't a federal court just rule all Gov Wolf’s coronavirus diktats unconstitutional?
What legal grounds does Wolf have now? NONE.

If someone is worried, just do not come to the event!

IOW, stay out of our state so that we can more easily cheat Biden’s electors to victory.

And this, my friends, is why Governor Wolf is a Master Debater.

Wolf’s Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (UI Responsibility) is a total disaster. I know several people who were furloughed due to COVID 19 who NEVER got through to them to apply.
