Disruptive Protesters at Trump Rally Force Campaign to Cancel Outdoor Speeches

President Trump spoke at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday. The president had planned to speak to supporters outside the BOK Center, a 19,000-seat arena, due to limited capacity inside the venue. But campaign officials said they were forced to cancel outside remarks by both President Trump and Vice President Pence due to interference from protesters.

"President Trump is rallying in Tulsa with thousands of energetic supporters, a stark contrast to the sleepy campaign being run by Joe Biden from his basement in Delaware," said Trump campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh in a statement. "Sadly, protesters interfered with supporters, even blocking access to the metal detectors, which prevented people from entering the rally. Radical protesters, coupled with a relentless onslaught from the media, attempted to frighten off the president’s supporters. We are proud of the thousands who stuck it out."

I hope Trump comes to the point of “Enough”... he’s the only hope I have... this loose and free destruction by the nitwits of society.. is growing old real quick...

I’ve had enough of the ‘other side’ and their beliefs...
Etsy ... stood with blm last week.. and this week they are celebrating lgband so forth, week.... I can’t remember their tag... but I’ve had enough of Etsy’s decisions that I disagree with and I’m done with them... 10 years. done... and those obnoxious voices are getting louder... till it’s a real mess out there.

Poorly attended if in normal times—there’s pandemic hysteria going on still. I thought it was s good-sized crowd under the circumstances and the people who attended must be very dedicated considering the media is nothing but negative 24/7.

I think the hype was a mistake—there’s no way that arena was gonna fill with people still afraid.

“America” is a long way from being terrorized when the biggest topic on a given day is pancake mix brand names.

Does anyone else feel the least bit offended that the campaign thinks we’re idiots?

"We"?

I am not an idiot. Fake news supporters are dishonest, disgusting, anti-American cowards.

You/they complained about the Trump rally in the first place...because Juneteenth.

Then you/they complained about the Trump rally...because Coronavirus.

At the same time you/they complained about the Trump rally...because "white supremacy."

You complain about EVERYTHING.

I don’t even mind the hype. I’m mad at Tulsa for pussing out and then whining about BLM blocking the door when the National Guard was all over the place.

They should have said a million people showed interest in the rally,

They did. They said over a million people REQUESTED tickets. And that is a fact. We can thank the derps for that, and I do. Anytime some derp or derpy FR anti Trumper says anything about the attendance, remind them that over a million people requested tickets, because they did.

If they give you some conspiracy theory about how they ordered the tickets, call them liars and ask about their tin foil hats.

Two can play the derp game.

#1.5MillionTicketsRequested

LOL. Kool-Aid pretty tasty, is it?

It’s politics. Of course we’re being manipulated.

Just because you support a cause doesn’t mean you have to give up your powers of reason.

They can take a policeman in Atlanta and charge him with countless charges.. for shooting a black man. The black man resisted arrest.. he was sleeping in the drive thru of a fast food.. they called police, they came and woke him up .got him out of the car..he failed a sobriety test... they started to handcuff him and he turned on the officers and fought with them.. managed to get their taser and got loose and ran... the police ran after him.. he turned and fired the taser at the police. hitting one I believe... and the officer then shot the man... it was ruled justified.. but when the da or his attorneys and the black attorneys got hold of it. the charges are out of sight.. police are threatening to walk off the job. some called in sick..

they are being treated like the blm and the antifa and that bunch want... the nation seems to be going in that direction....
the blacks living today were not slaves and their plight can be laid at the feet of the dem party.. they gave no help to the black community.. did nothing to help their lives.. but they still voted dem....
someone has to stop the madness.. this is getting ridiculous... you can’t give all the right to destroy to make up for anything.. it’s just causing more trouble and more angst out here among the people.. it can’t be won this way!!!!

Biden couldn't fill an arena, but, you have to admit, he was able to fill a circle.   (In fact he filled several of them, as can be plainly seen in this picture.)


      


(Sadly for him, they had more Secret Service Agents there than Biden supporters.)

Regarding the ramp,it was not ADA compliant, (limited to only more than 30 inch vertical in 30 feet horizontal). In the steep hills of San Francisco we had special material (designed to avoid slipping on ocean oil rigs)applied to our leather shoes in order to prevent this very common problem !

Don’t be a tard. Letting America be terrorized for votes is lame. I don’t care what party you are in.

Listen, Uncle Fester. Nobody was 'terrorized', so you can scrap that girlish rhetoric.

And you should know, its you and others like you with your pitiful caterwauling that the derps will see when they check here to see what we're saying about the rally attendance. And they will gleefully take back your example to their boards and declare themselves the winner.

We don't got no time for losers like you. This is an information and propaganda war we are currently engaged in. The internet is a battlefield, and you are a sad, defeatist soldier on our side (if in fact you are on our side).

Buck up, stand straight, put your war face on, and be a man.

Can you raise your shield over your head?

I was reading here. My wife started crying when she saw the poor showing at the arena. I had to turn it off.
