"This is just a gross misuse of public money and resources," Brendan Philbin, senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, told Fox News Digital. "The time of teachers and the maintenance staff and everyone should be, at this point, getting ready to start the new school year. But instead, they're using all this time and resources to host this gratuitous political event."
"If an official causes public assets, resources or labor to be used for a cause other than what they are intended for, and the value of that is over $1,000, then it's a felony in Virginia," Philbin added.
