West Virginia governor invites Trump to give SOTU in state capitol

Source: The Hill

Gov. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) invited President Trump to deliver his State of the Union address in Charleston as the White House and House Democrats feud over the speech’s arrangements.

“I called the President yesterday to convey our invitation for him to come to West Virginia to give the State of the Union Address in our State Capitol. Giving the speech in a state full of people who love their country would truly reflect his focus on the forgotten men and women of America,” Justice said in a statement Wednesday.

“No matter where he chooses to have the speech, I want the President to know that he is always welcome in the Great State of West Virginia.”

Justice joined North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore (R) and Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R) in offering their respective state capitols as possible venues for Trump’s address.

I'd much rather he stand before and frequently lie to the people of West Virginia than the people of North Carolina! We've enough ReThugs and Trumpliklans in our legislature, I have NO desire to give them a nation-wide forum! Where ever Combover Caligula chooses for his venue, we should #BOYCOTT, because the MSM will fall all over themselves to give him free publicity to air his lies and racism!!!
