Ahead of Trump’s campaign rally this Saturday in Tulsa, Ok. Tulsa’s mayor declared a ‘civil emergency’ over fears of violent protests.
Trump in turn threatened violence against protestors.

The beleaguered Mayor also ordered a ‘federal exclusion zone for a six-block radius’ near the BOK center and a curfew.
‘I have received information from the Tulsa Police Department and other law enforcement agencies that shows that individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other States are planning to travel to the city of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally,’ Bynum wrote in the executive order.
While COVID fears have resulted in many politicians and medical personnel begging the tone-deaf President to call off the event, Trump continues to brag on Twitter:
Reluctantly has said they will take some precautionary steps such as temperature checks and providing attendees with masks and hand sanitizer, they steadfastly refuse to insist that attendees wear the masks.
Is this a good time to mention that Oklahoma set a new state record for COVID-19 increases in a single day on Thursday, confirming 450 new infections?
