Big news via @meganmesserly: The Reno airport has informed the owners of an airport hangar -- including two well-known Reno businessmen, one of whom is the head of a conservative think tank -- that this weekend's Trump rally violates the state directive on in-person gatherings.

@meganmesserly Let the froth begin from Lord Farquaad of Virginia and his allies at Adelson's newspaper. Remember, this guy could have been governor:

@meganmesserly Response to @meganmesserly's exclusive is for Laxalt & Co. to spin rallies had been canceled by the gov? Pure gaslighting.
1. They knew the rules going in.
2. The rallies were not "canceled" by anyone except the Trump campaign. McCarran was never even asked about a rally.

@meganmesserly Let's be clear on what happened -- this was a setup:
1. Gov had nothing to do with the rallies being canceled. Airport officials in Reno did this, so the campaign seized an opportunity to make this fit a narrative.
2. My guess: They will try to do rallies elsewhere in Reno/Vegas.

@meganmesserly And @meganmesserly has a lot more information in her updated story about the rallies:

@meganmesserly By the way, the clearest sign of this set-up was that the Trump campaign already knew it was violating WH and state guidelines by holding rallies so it had its operative embedded as a faux columnist at Adelson's paper write a column last night (!) saying gov would cancel them.
@meganmesserly The WH guidelines on red and yellow counties are telling, as @meganmesserly reports: "The White House recommends that gatherings in 'red zone' counties should be limited to 10 people or fewer, while 'yellow zone' counties should allow no more than 25 people to gather"
@meganmesserly So please, tell us again Team Trump, how outrageous it is that you can't have rallies in Reno or Vegas and tell us again how your rallies were "canceled" when the truth is YOU canceled them and they went against your own guidelines.
Truth matters.
