Even if it wasn't so partisan, with it being right before the 4th of July, especially, it's a horrible time of year to have that in DC. Even without that, as if folks want to waste a vacation going to watch a bunch of has-been singers and go on a singe Farris wheel for a ride, with sports stadium type food vendors serving food. Not to mention half the country is not gonna want anything to do with anything associated with Trump, even if the event totally rocked and wasn't so associated with Trump.
It demonstrates a complete inability to read the room.
I think that's Patel's old lady.
