MONTOURSVILLE – It was an all-out blitz across Pennsylvania from President Donald Trump just days before Election Day. President Trump made his final of four PA stops in our region Saturday night at Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville. But starting the festivities was Selinsgrove resident Chelsey Pagana Davis, singing the national anthem:

Once the President took the podium, he opened with what he called, ‘semi-breaking news’ signing a new exexutive order to protect fracking in Pennsylvania, “Today I signed an order…just now on the plane….to strongly protect your state’s fracking and industry. I just signed it so people cannot play with your fracking industry.”
President Trump used the new executive order as part of attacking Democratic nominee Joe Biden as a ‘Washington vulture.’ Mr. Trump says Biden’s stance on fracking will be part of a ‘economic collapse’ for Pennsylvania and the rest of the country, “If Biden and Harris get in, they will terminate this executive order and implement the Green New Deal. A vote for Biden and Harris is a vote to ban fracking, ban mining, and completely destroy Pennsylvania.”
The president also continued his recent attacks on Governor Tom Wolf and his handling of the pandemic. He says children need to be in school with other children, and they have strong immune systems, referencing his youngest son Barron’s quick recovery from COVID-19.
The president later fired up the small crowd saying he looks good in polls for other key states like Ohio, Georgia, and Texas. The crowed responded with ‘We Love You!’ chants.” President Trump also reiterated his stances on abortion and law and order. He returns to our region Monday for a rally in Scranton.
