Park commissioners in Alabama reportedly scuttled a speaking appearance for former President Donald Trump over concerns the rally would devolve into a "partisan political event."
According to NBC 15, Trump's office requested a permit for the event to take place on Saturday at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile. Park commission Chairman Bill Tunnell said in a statement that subsequent contact by the "Republican Party" caused the commission to cancel the event.
"After the request was made, then there was contact with the Republican Party. They contacted us, and then it became apparent that it was going to be a partisan political event rather than just a patriotic event planned for that evening," Tunnell said.

Well....guess we know mobile,...minority heavy municipal govt ain’t having it....move it to Biloxi or Fairhope Daphne
They waited for the last minute to pull the rug out.
Have it anyway. There are no laws.
But there is a right to peacefully
assemble....
Majority black city
I’m sure not shocked
Sounds almost like the GOP got it cancelled.
How can that be...Trump has a Mega Rally set for July 3rd, 2021 in Sarasota, Florida. Trump is great...but even Trumpie cannot be in two locations at the same time!!! What’s up folks?
I’m guessing “breaking the law” will be a necessity as was navigate the Marxist terrain.
Agree, this doesn’t make sense.......
.....unless ‘they’re’ trying to confuse those who are planning on Sarasota and depress the numbers of the crowd
I think Trump has his own jet. it’s not far from FL to AL by jet.

That’s what I was thinking, “”” the Republican Party. They contacted us, and then “””
He will find another place. Pick a bigger place. More people.
And these days, some folks are certain that extends to “mostly peaceful” assembly, too.

Tunnell added that a 2012 presidential campaign rally for former Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum "was the straw that broke the camel's back."
"That's when the commission went to the no partisan politics, open to the public."
Anyone remember if there were any incidents at the 2012 Santorum rally, perhaps of the violent variety?

Well that sucks... 12 miles from my front door and I could have dropped a line off the causeway to catch a flounder or two for dinner on the way back.
Isn’t there a really good sea food house along that route where you could forgo the fishin and still eat a great fish meal?
Several restaurants, but I like to fish.
