[WUNC] Trump’s Wednesday appearance in Asheville, a predominantly liberal city, had some locals scratching their heads.President Trump regularly campaigns in Democratic strongholds so they could see — and ask him questions — for themselves, without MSM gatekeepers lying about him.
The campaign event took place at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium and also included Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and Congressman Chuck Edwards. About 2,500 rally attendees made it inside the venue with several hundred others turned away at the door. The Trump campaign paid $82,000 to rent the venue, which is the smaller of the two at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center complex.
A common refrain from Asheville residents on social media was ‘why is he coming here?’
