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."

Let me assure you that the plan is to be legal, to be right, to be unreproachable, and as more and more people lose their rights, their, homes and businesses, and their livelihood, they will turn to Trump. Pelosi and Schumer and poor old joe, with their support of BLM and Antifa, are putting the democratic party to bed for a century.

Does anyone else feel the least bit offended that the campaign thinks we’re idiots?

The rally was poorly attended. I don’t like excuses. I want to know why Tulsa had a lame showing. If it’s because of “protesters” regardless of National Guard, I want to know why?

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

How do you figure we were defeated, surrender monkey?

What is going on in post #18?

What do you think the Trump campaign is lying about?

I wish the campaign would have lowered expectations instead of hyping them, which usually leads to failure. They should have said a million people showed interest in the rally, but we’ll have to see what happens. We’re hoping for a good crowd, but we’ll have to see. Then when more show up than expected it’s a success. Now the story is it was a dud. And the next few days the story will be the campaign is in disarray, Parscale blah blah blah, Trump fuming.

He needs some better advice. The speech was okay—I thought unfocused at times especially the Boeing story. And he think he looked disappointed about crowd size. Just me—maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe you care too much about Trump caring too much.

Obviously, everyone there and the 88+ million watching Trump did not agree with you.

Think about that: 88+ million Americans think you are a jacka@@.

Nobody is going to base his vote in November on how many people attended the Tulsa rally in June.

The Dems have a lot of vulnerabilities. The campaign should hit those hard and not waste one precious minute squabbling about head-counts or passages from a disgraced loser’s book.

Antifa/BLM & their enablers in the MSM and Congress will claim victory in Tulsa. They have proven they can overwhelm Patriots’ will with sheer mountains of idiot flesh.

This is only the first Trump rally of the campaign and at least the COVID bugaboo has been laid to rest.

Hope that PDJT’s campaign staff are taking note of lessons learned.

Still wondering where was the National Guard commander who could have given the order “Drive them back!” and failed to do so.

Sorry, bro. The campaign don't report to you, as important as you may think you are.

Very lame angled photo to try and cover for Tulsa’s cowardice.
