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."

No one showed.

You sure are fighting hard for that lie. You sure it wasn't you that was crying, and not your wife?

Seriously crying? What are you guys snowflakes?
Grab your Kleenex and keep hiding under your bed from the pandemic while the rest of us do the heavy lifting.
We don’t need people who act like millennials.

No one said that a million people were going to show up! They said that a million requested tickets.

You will find no evidence of anything other. Ever!

I found it right here on this thread. You're hurting morale with your sniveling, in doing that, you are harming support for the very President you claim to support.

Morale is very important in a Presidential campaign, especially one this important.

I'm issuing you a cease and desist order in the name of Donald Maximus Trump himself.

“#1.5MillionTicketsRequested”

Any truth to the tiktok story about how lefties(kpop?) used the app to reserve tons of tickets intending to no-show?

I saw where Occasional Cortex was congratulating them about using a Chicom app to screw with the rally.

I know nothing about apps (old man that I am) so not even sure this is possible.

I was reading here. My wife started crying when she saw the poor showing at the arena. I had to turn it off.

As the old saying goes, you and your wife should both start seeing other men...

She’s a gal that loves the guy. What am I suppose to do? She was expecting a lot more. Hoping for a win for America. The crowd was thin and it upset the lady. I was freakin cleaning guns.

The arena could only safely hold so many people. I’d like to see the scene outside of it

And how many protesters were there? If there were only a few dozen or hundred, then they achieved a propaganda victory by the Trump people Not holding a rally outside.

However, 19,000 or so, even allowing for “social distancing” cuts in attendance, were impressive and you could certainly see it in the very poor camera work inside and outside.

I’ve attended enough protests as a reporter to know how to count a crowd with some good degree of accuracy (example to follow), but I also know how the mainstream media can “fudge” photographic coverage.

I was at the Million Man March of Louis Farrakhan (I even have my march button sitting on a self behind me), 1995 or so. I walked around the Mall and did some head-counts and empty space measuring (by taking 3 foot steps - size 12 shoes).

There were no Million Men there. Possibly 10,00-25,000 at the most, minus those on the MutherShip Louie was waiting for to take him away. Missed him by “that much”. He could have been the first man on Mars.

Don’t believe half of what you see or much of what a reporter tells you if they are from the MSM/MSNBC/CNN.

As I used to tell protestors of the Vietnam war, if you weren’t there, everything you hear is 2nd hand so STFU.

You can’t tell me to stop dogging Tulsa out for being lame. Not going to happen. Maybe if Tiger King would have been on the bill it would have been different.

Would I go to it? Now, probably not.

What are you scared of more, antifa or the rona?
