Oklahoma newspaper Tulsa World's editorial board criticized President Donald Trump's decision to host a rally in the state late this month, saying the campaign event would happen at the "wrong time," in the "wrong place" for the "wrong reasons."
"We don't know why he chose Tulsa, but we can't see any way that his visit will be good for the city," the newspaper's editorial board wrote of the planned June 20 rally on Monday.
The article pointed to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, saying that holding a large indoor gathering is a public health risk even if Oklahoma has eased lockdown restrictions. The editorial board said they'd raise the same concern if Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden or another politician were planning a rally at the present time.
"The public health concern would apply whether it were Donald Trump, Joe Biden or anyone else who was planning a mass rally at the BOK [Bank of Oklahoma Center]," they wrote. "This is the wrong time."
