By Tommy Christopher
On Saturday morning, stunning videos featuring teeming throngs of Trump supporters circulated on Twitter hours ahead of President Donald Trumps rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma with very few coronavirus masks in evidence.
Public health officials, including Trump administration epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, have expressed grave concern about Trumps indoor rally, and recommended precautions like face coverings.
In that context, the videos that emerged Saturday morning could be seen as ominous, as Trump supporters packed the streets around the Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa. There appeared to be little, if any, precautions being taken.

I only have sympathy for the innocents they will infect.
Deplorables - Is it really worth it just for tRump to get his jollies for a couple of hours?.....
If we want to campaign to defund something, top priority should be to defund Donald Trump.....

(50,949 posts)like it's a packed city block or so. Someone said there were three such entrances, so I guess there must be about three times that many people.
Still, I've been in protests where we filled miles and miles of city streets, shoulder to shoulder.
I look at that photo, and I remember an expression my grandfather used to describe hapless people who allow themselves to be led to do self-destructive things: "the poor slobs."

Also BLM was hit /miss with masking but I do not see any masks with trump crowd pics
Supporting racist trump and spreading disease is double dirty deeds theyre doing
The thought of being such supreme jerks probably gives them quivers just thinking about what big assholes they are while waiting for their orange anus leader
