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."

Craiglist Tulsa allegedly had ads for "actors" to show and get $250. Can't verify that but someone posted a screen shot yesterday or early today. Just sayin'.

The local governments inability to resolve this by moving protesters out means they ARE complicit with it. If conservatives were to do this anywhere, they would be beaten and arrested by police. There is no way conservatives could get away with doing the same OR moving out protesters on their own. Suddenly, manpower would be available to subdue them. This is all due to corrupt government everywhere.

But the rally still went on and there were lots of people there and it was streamed online to a lot of people too.

The leftist swine try to ruin everything.

So we were terrorized out of our first amendment while surrounded by armed National Guard?

This was not a case of corrupt government. It was a case of sneaky leftists. The National Guard was there to stop this, but could not see into cars.

They have had their day to prove who they are... total destruction wherever they are and so choose.. free to destroy.

It’s time to take them in and stop the madness.. they think they can do whatever.. they cannot..not in the United States.... and it’s time to get order back.. turn the military on them... give the police hope they are still needed... set law and order back into focus... these younguns are making a mess and we are not pleased... they are too dumb and too prone to not have any sense at all.. thinking a week or 2 makes them the power of the nation... they are not!

We watched. Trump was en fuego for most of the hour and 50 or so. I think he’s glad to be back on the trail. Probably lost on the loser faction about the Tulsa thing in 1921 was the dems/clan messed up a lot of wealthy POC. From wikipediea:

“...at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as “Black Wall Street”...”

This is all so predictable. Is he really going to go on for a week about why the rally wasn’t as big as he expected? Like he went on for 15 minutes at the rally about the ramp and water drinking? I know he feels like he has to “correct” the media but he cares about this stuff too much

During the last campaign, I thought the protesters were allowed a designated area to stay in - with all the preps and security, why were they allowed to completely clog the streets and block the rally entrances?

Because the Government wants to make as difficult as possible for President Trump to hold his rallies.

So we were defeated by our enemies regardless of armed National Guard protection?
