Trump blasts ANOTHER fire marshal for 'political' interference after thousands are left outside his rally despite massive empty spaces inside
Fire marshal in Columbus, Ohio cut off Donald Trump's crowd at 1,000
Cavernous exhibit hall was only half-used, and massive empty spaces remained inside
Trump claimed he was being discriminated against 'purely for political reasons ' and asked if the mayor is a Democrat
'We could've had four, five, six thousand people.
They’ve all been turned away. It's a disgrace,' he added
Trump also slammed a fire marshal in Colorado last week for shutting the door on him and forcing people to sit in an overflow room
Donald Trump renewed his complaints on Monday about fire marshals limiting the size of his rally crowds, telling reporters in Columbus, Ohio that thousands of fans were kept out of the city's convention center 'purely for political reasons.'
'We've had thousands of people outside. Thousands,' Trump told pool reporters as he entered the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
'They were turned away by – for political reasons – purely for political reasons.'
'They said in this massive building you're not allowed to have any more than a thousand people. And that's nonsense,' Trump vented.
'We could've had four, five, six thousand people. They’ve all been turned away.'
'It's a disgrace,' he added.
'Look at the size of this place!' he said as he began his town hall meeting.
'Is the mayor a Democrat? Is he a Democrat? That's what I heard. He ought to be ashamed of himself.'

Why would a White male be a Democrat? Is he a Queer?
Cheap looking suit.
We have an out of control ‘SAFETY POLICE’ epidemic.
We also have plenty of business folks that force you to buy something or inhibit you, based om false claims of ‘ITS THE LAW’
Do not think the police and firemen are unionized without the ulterior purpose of CONTROL of citizenry.
FWIW, some very pro-Trump firefighters who I know personally are not taking this well.
Is he also a member of the Film Actors Guild? I suspect so!
he certainly looks it
Does he teach 1st grade?
I have been in this hall. It sears thousands more.
This guy doesn’t strike me as an intellectual giant.
Explain please.
What would fire marshal Bill say?
John Kasich?
Yeah, I saw him in Star Wars...............Jabba the Hutt .................

My suggestion is that if they only allowed him to seat 25% of the seats, he only pay 25% of the cost of the facility.
Are they not taking the “Fire Marshal’s” decision well i.e. faking a reduced occupancy, or are they upset at Trump for lambasting a public official ostensibly just “doing his job”?

Capacity at this place is a lot more than just 1,000 people. They cite events with 11,000 attending.

sounds like it has an air conditioning issue as well...
