It was 100% the right move. Greenwood is northeast of Lincoln:

Now, meet Father Rober Ballecer — a Catholic priest and aka the Digital Jesuit — who mocked Trump and his supporters over the cancelation as well as tweeting that they should “head on over and enjoy yourselves…I got you covered!” Is he for real? WTF?
What? A storm is threatening a Trump rally in Nebraska?! 😱
Don't worry MAGA peeps, head on over and enjoy yourselves… I got you covered!#Sharpie pic.twitter.com/EIBTpG0Yic

It’s a terrifying situation right now for people in Nebraska and Kansas and that’s what he tweeted?
