President Trump Opa-Locka Rally Draws Large Crowds, Runs Past Miami-Dade (11pm) Curfew
NBC Miami ^ | 11/01/20 | Daniela Flamini

Posted on 11/01/2020 10:00:03 PM PST by Libloather

Large crowds gathered at the Opa-Locka Executive Airport Sunday evening for a rally hosted by President Donald Trump, an event that ran past the county's currently installed curfew of 11 p.m.

Hundreds of supporters were packed into tarmacs, eagerly waiting for the president's arrival. As Trump flew over from Georgia, local Florida politicians were there to stir the crowd, including Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.

**SNIP**

Trump's event had originally been scheduled to start at 11:30 p.m., and questions immediately arose about whether attendees would be penalized for violating Miami-Dade County's 11 p.m. curfew.

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez confirmed in a press release Sunday that the county "has confirmed with the RNC, the permit holder for President Trump’s rally planned for the airport in Opa-Locka, that the outdoor event will begin at 9:30 p.m. and is expected to end before midnight."

By the time Trump actually walked on the stage to greet his supporters, though, it was 11:45 p.m.

“As with any other events, the County will continue to enforce the curfew,” Gimenez had said earlier in the day. “We will be flexible, as we have been with recent late-ending sporting events, so that people get home safely.”

Gimenez had said earlier in the day. “We will be flexible, as we have been with recent late-ending sporting events, so that people get home safely.”

If he was really concerned about people’s safety he would insist that everyone vote for President Trump...

“...event ran past the county’s currently installed curfew of 11 p.m.”

IMPEACH! He doesn’t care about people. Doesn’t he know the virus runs wild in the streets after 11?

I was curious to see if eventually Biden could get a negative number of attendees to his events. I know it’s physically impossible but if there was any way to achieve it, Biden could.

I was hoping he would mention the cruise industry...he would have won many votes saying the cruises would start up again...lots of jobs lost right now in Florida because the ships cant sail and the CDC didnt continue the no sail ban which ended yesterday, Oct 31 but did add nearly impossible rules until Nov 2021...

Democrats tell the truth, count accurately (including ballots) and show truth-telling photos? No a **** chance esp. in Florida.

After all they supported Marxist Andrew Gillum for the Senate despite him clearly being a Marxist ideologue and liar.

Indeed! This, that is happening across our nation, has that very feel. There is Joy coming together shared by all, regardless of where they’re from, what background, whatever race, none of which has any place in this unseen hand sweeping across this nation....and everyone participating, be it on the highways, waterways, rallies or sitting behind a computer, we are all apart of this spectacle watched and observed.....I believe from Heaven itself.
