The audience’s reactions, which were a mix of cheers and boos, came as the president talked about the state’s Republican governor while addressing his supporters in the Dayton area.
“We’re joined today by a real good friend of mine, somebody that’s been with me from the beginning and I’ve been with him since the beginning, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine,” the president announced prior to a round of boos.
“He’s opening up,” President Trump added, seemingly shocked by the crowd’s reactions.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted (R) was heckled on Monday by supporters of President Trump, who objected to Husted mentioning wearing masks.
Husted spoke at a Trump rally outside of Dayton, and came onstage sporting a red mask with “Trump 2020” printed on the front. “I’m trying to make masks in America great again,” he said to jeers. Husted pulled out another mask that said “MAGA,” which did nothing to get the crowd on his side — instead, the boos continued and one person shouted at him, “Get off the stage!”

“Hang on, I get it,” Husted responded. “You don’t like it. But when you go in a grocery store where you have to wear one … just listen up! All right, I get it. But if somebody tells you to take it off, you can at least say you’re trying to save the country by wearing one of President Donald Trump’s masks.”
The campaign has thrown @LtGovHusted into the awkward role of promoting masks. Shouts of “Tyrant!” “Not gonna work!” & plenty of booing.
DeWine/Husted have pushed masks for months.

It wasn’t just the idea of wearing masks to protect others that got the crowd riled up — when Husted mentioned Gov. Mike DeWine (R), who made masks mandatory in most indoor areas, that opened him up to another round of boos. DeWine and Husted are co-chairs of Trump’s campaign in Ohio, and when Trump later mentioned the governor during his speech, some jeering could be heard. Trump called DeWine “a real good friend of mine,” and promised the audience, “He’s opening up.”

“He’s opening up” … As if “he” has the authority to tell people whether they can live their lives. SMH.
They have.
Better do more than boo him…. He and his ilk are fixing to do an Australia on you.
This crap will NOT stop with a farce election. You Trump folks better remember ALL this has been under Trump’s watch. Yes, Biden is no better but do not expect anything different if Trump is re-elected. It will get worse until stopped. And it will require millions,,, not thousands.
What’s with this, “do an Australia on you ?” It would be more accurate, and better informed, if you replaced Australia with Victoria, as not all Australia is under tyranny at the moment. My state, Western Australia is receiving heaps of bad mouthing because we refuse to open our borders until the other states bring this under control. The only Corona patients we have are from Over seas arriving on ships carting iron ore or sheep. No Western Australians are currently infected. Moreover, take a good look at your map, W.A. is a LARGE place and it’s inhabitants are free to go and do as they please. So how does that equate with your belief ??
