She had a ticket and everything but wasn't cheerful enough. I believe it was outside the venue proper.
Funny, Tulsa relaxed the curfew to permit Trump supporters but wouldn't let her sit solemnly on the sidewalk this morning.
Scroll down through this article for more detail about her.

(15,793 posts)I know she has a right to be there, but longterm it could mean having to accept trumpers at our activities.

(37,748 posts)And what is the measurable and relevant objection to that?
Or was that simply an excuse to say "I know she has a right to be there, but..."
I'm guessing the latter.

Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)I often wonder if any of the members of this obviously Fascist movement know anything about purging?
At some point, after they have persecuted and imprisoned all of their leader's scapegoats and enemies, the finger will turn around and start pointing to those in their cult who might be considered suspect or not x enough, etc. It doesn't just stop once the persecuted are imprisoned, tortured, killed, etc. They give it a momentum of its own and their Big Bother Furor [sic] keeps spinning the Wheel of Fascism. Come on down!
However, it is far too late then when the stark reality is reflecting off a flowing river of blood.
This has to stop well before then, no matter what.

(2,336 posts)So she's actually tossed because she's black? Looks like it to me. This is so repugnant -- I cannot wait for Jan 2021 to come
Edit-- Wait, she's white? I saw a photo and her head must have been down so assumed otherwise. Sorry about that, but this makes it even stranger -- you cannot wear a t-shirt that disagrees with tRump or you cannot attend his virus-fest?

(2,193 posts)They claim she was in the event area and despite having a paid ticket, the event coordinators wanted her removed.
The Tulsa Police served, essentially, as bouncers.
