Trump supporters boo Ohio governor at rally

De Wine isn’t cuckoo enough for this crowd,apparently

*****

Attendees at one of President Trump's rallies in Ohio on Monday booed Gov. Mike DeWine (R), catching the president by surprise.

Trump introduced DeWine at the top of his remarks in Dayton, describing the governor as "somebody that's been with me from the beginning, and I've been with him from the beginning."

The crowd of hundreds of people, who packed in tightly with few face masks, erupted in a mix of cheers and boos. The chilly reception seemed to catch Trump off guard, prompting a surprised look and a chuckle.

(snip)

The boos for DeWine came after CNN correspondent Jeremy Diamond reported that Lt. Gov. Jon Husted (R) appealed to the crowd before Trump arrived to wear face coverings to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. He was roundly booed, Diamond wrote on Twitter.

DeWine, who was endorsed by Trump and won election in 2018, likely earned the hostile reception because he has taken stiff measures to try to slow the spread of COVID-19. DeWine has generally earned high marks for his handling of the pandemic, but some of his actions have been at odds with Trump.

He could have done better by not backing down from his earlier mask mandate, among other things, but I'm relieved that Ohio doesn't have one of those full-blown science-denying GOP governors.
