National agricultural advocacy group Rural America 2020 began displaying a digital billboard outside of the Des Moines International Airport in Iowa on Tuesday ahead of President Trump’s Wednesday rally, warning residents that it will be a “COVID superspreader event.”
The group on Tuesday tweeted an image of the billboard, which says “TRUMP COVID SUPERSPREADER EVENT,” along with a large arrow pointed toward the airport where the president will speak to supporters.
We’re doing our part to warn Iowans that @realdonaldtrump is in town tomorrow. This billboard is directly outside the Des Moines Airport where he will hold his hangar rally. #Superspreader #SuperspreaderTrump #covidiots pic.twitter.com/KtN9SebH4T

The group said in a press release that it plans to leave the billboard up through the campaign event Wednesday evening.
“We should all be worried about a President who was in the hospital with COVID last week and who now wants to pack thousands of Iowans into an airport hangar,” Iowa Rural America 2020 Steering Committee member Chris Henning said in the press release.
“This is the height of irresponsibility. We saw what happened in the Rose Garden,” Henning added, referring to the a White House event for Judge Amy Coney Barrett where multiple top Republicans are believed to have contracted the disease.
