NESHOBA COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – Governor Phil Bryant tweeted that about 5,000 supporters showed up to hear Donald Trump Junior campaign for his father’s presidential run at the Neshoba County Fair.
After his father took the primary in Mississippi, Donald Trump Junior speaks at the Neshoba County Fair.
“Thank you Mississippi.”
He wasted no time with supporters, promising job growth.
“I think his platform of bringing jobs back to this country. Thinking about Americans first. The livelihoods and safety of our children and grandchildren as supposed to the feelings of nations across the seas that if they could push a button would make us disappear across the map. I think that’s what he’s talking about and it’s going to resonate here well and everywhere else as it should,” said Trump Jr.
And stressing possibility of the next president appointing Supreme Court nominees.
“When I think about this election and I think about the second amendment; that fundamental right to protect yourself and your families and I realize that’s at risk by Hillary Clinton being able to stack a Supreme Court with three maybe four justices who are going to legislate from the bench I get really scared,” said Trump Jr.
And trump junior even weighed in on the DNC removing the Mississippi state flag from its convention in Philadelphia.
“I believe in traditions, I don’t see a lot of the nonsense that was created with those things so those are issues and I understand how people feel about them but you know leaving some of the traditions the way they are in this country there’s nothing wrong with some tradition,” said Trump Jr.
Not recognizable in today’s crowd, Clinton supporters.
Clinton didn’t visit Mississippi during the primary but rather former President Bill Clinton campaigned on her behalf.
While Mississippi isn’t a battleground state…even Governor Bryant says we can expect to see the Republican nominee back in Mississippi.
“We’re working on a date right now; we’re hoping he’ll come to the state. He loves Mississippi. He told me that several times we met in Trump Tower. I believe he will be back in the state,” said Governor Bryant.
