President Donald Trump is hosting the Great American State Fair on the National Mall to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. You think this, like Nancy Pelosi's new democracy institute at UC Berkeley, would be nonpartisan, but Trump Force 47 Captain Julia reports that 10 states — nine of them governed by Democrats — aren't sending a delegation to the fair.
10 states—Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Pennsylvania—have confirmed they will not send an official delegation to the “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall in celebration of America’s 250th.… pic.twitter.com/OIQIsDRiPk

The post continues:
9 of the states are led by Democratic governors, with Vermont being the only Republican-governed state to decline involvement so far.
Notably, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro tops the list of highest-paid governors.
This is one of the most petty and disgraceful examples of politics I think I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/l4nZMsHhlv

Update Pennsylvania senators Federman, and McCormick will represent Pennsylvania. In spite of what little man Josh Shapiro said.

PA is participating. pic.twitter.com/5hWfg4DyUB

Yes—thank you to our PA Senators @DaveMcCormickPA and @JohnFetterman for stepping up and doing what @GovernorShapiro won’t.

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our great nation—there’s no reason it shouldn’t be represented at the Great American Fair! 🇺🇸
Correction: New Jersey (Sherrill) also declined to participate, but Cape May County picked up the ball https://t.co/zHoFx2OJyY

Pennsylvania should be at the vanguard of America's 250th birthday as it was at its birth! It's a shame that that's slimy, sniveling, petty soyshit Shapiro is such a zero!

God bless our Senators for stepping up after our weasel Governor refused to do the right thing, put his TDS aside, and ensure Pennsylvania—the birthplace of the great USA—was represented at the Great American State Fair for our country’s 250th. 🇺🇸

It’s good that these radicalized states continue to expose themselves

CT continues to embarrass itself. The governor is saying it's too expensive. Sure @GovNedLamont , CT has one of the highest tax rates in the country, WTF are you spending it on that can't be make secondary to celebrating this country?

I hate these America hating communists who have taken over my New England. My ancestors fought and gave them the states and country, and they disrespect it all.

Regardless of who is president this is disgraceful and disgusting.

Unfortunately Governor Bob Ferguson chose NOT to have Washington State officially participate in THE GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR, but I couldn’t let this stand, so I came down to man the nearly empty booth and show that not everyone in our state puts politics before celebrating our… pic.twitter.com/SWkWK6579d

Correct! They all have “a booth” with nothing on it. @RepBaumgartner was in the Washington state booth this week stamping passports because he’s a patriot. Embarrassing for the state to show like this! 🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/Ce8SH7v60G

Well if nothing else those states certainly showed their true colors and it certainly isn't Red, White and Blue.

Good for the senators and representatives who showed up despite their governor. You'd think the 13 colonies at least would have wanted to participate.
