Nigel Farage and other VIPs were flown to and from Tulsa in jets chartered by the Trump campaign for a rally that wound up drawing less than 6,200 people.
WASHINGTON ― Donald Trumps presidential reelection campaign chartered jets to fly in VIPs to attend his much-hyped but ultimately flopped Oklahoma rally on Saturday, including his pro-Brexit ally Nigel Farage, who was given a national interest waiver to enter the country despite the coronavirus travel ban.
Farage, who recently lost his radio show in Britain after comparing Black Lives Matter protesters to the Taliban, was flown from Palm Beach, Florida, to Tulsa for the evening rally, and then to New York City, according to an informal Trump adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity.
This was supposed to be a festival to celebrate Trump and Trumpism, and it laid an egg, the adviser said, adding that more than 100 high-profile guests had been flown in and put up in hotels on the campaigns dime. . . .
