Viral Videos Show Teeming Throngs of Maskless Trump Fans Lining Up for Tulsa Rally

By Tommy Christopher

On Saturday morning, stunning videos featuring teeming throngs of Trump supporters circulated on Twitter hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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.

If I was there protesting I'd dress up like the Grim Reaper..... With a mask, of course.

Sort of morbidly ironic, like farm animals slow-walking to the slaughter house.....

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.....

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."

If they can pin some of the future outbreaks to rally attendance, it should serve as another nail in trump*'s reelection coffin. Unfortunately, it probably won't.

on the move marching with BLM where these are just people milling around in most shots I’ve seen
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 they’re 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
