GOP Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves' Democrat opponent Brandon Presley crashed an official survey of tornado damage in Rolling Fork to campaign for governor.
Reeves, alongside other invited officials that included federal lawmakers and Biden administration officials, traveled toDemocrat gubernatorial candidate Brandon Presley and his campaign staff also traveled to Rolling Fork – outside of his official constituency as Northern District commissioner – where his campaign staff took pictures of him and posted them to his campaign Twitter account.
"The devastation here is beyond belief, but the resolve and toughness of the citizens of this town is even stronger," he continued."#MississippiStrong." "It was inappropriate, awkward and embarrassing for his campaign staff to be racing around catching photos while officials who are actually engaged in supporting Rolling Fork were trying to do their jobs," the source continued, noting Reeves"had no campaign staff there, and neither did any of the invited officials."
The source also told Fox News Digital the"visit was organized and led by the Governor’s Office" and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency , and that Presley and his staff"hung around the official press conference looking like he was trying to insert himself into that, until staff directed him and other bystanders to stand with the press."
