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.

That’s how I read it too. It’s not clear though.

The Dems are terrified....they admitted that Trumpie drew 25,000 folks to his Ohio Rally.....but....the real figure was more like 50,000. These Dems will try and lie...leaving no stone unturned to detour the Trump band wagon. The state of Alabama was nuts to turn away Trump...if that story is even true. Who knows?

IMHO.....I think it would be very hard for Trump to do the Saturday Rally in Sarasota, Florida which will be massive and, then do the same thing the next day. That would be a toughie!!! However Trump should honor “The Fourth of July” at some choice and proper location!!! Go Trumpie!!!

You bet they are, he's a steamrolling train coming down the tracks and Feeble Biden is standing there in his underwear eating pudding. The Dems are making mistake after mistake, crime is skyrocketing, the crisis on the border worsening and kamala laughs, The cost of living is rising, and people are catching on. The only risk is the inept elected GOPers, we should pick up 50+ house seats if properly run, no faith on my part.

Almost every other day I’m reminded why I changed registration from GOP to Independent. I’ve had it with GOP backstabbers.

Sounds almost like the GOP got it cancelled.


It does. Apparently, Team USA has lost Alabama.
