The entire area was packed as Trump touched on fracking, job creation, COVID-19 and condemned aggressive protesters.
“42 days from now, we’re going to win Pennsylvania,” he said.
Not many people were observing social distancing, but a good number were wearing masks at the event.
Earlier in the day, Gov. Tom Wolf said that the state had sent a letter to the White House about limiting the crowd for the event to only 250 people. Wolf said he received no response.
“The only thing you are allowed to do is protest. You can’t go to church,” President Trump said.
“We’re behind him 100% because we feel he has our back,” said Fayette County Sheriff James Custer.
Custer was recognized by the President during the speech, along with a number of other local sheriffs.
