Hundreds of Trump supporters stuck on freezing cold Omaha airfield after rally, 7 taken to hospitals

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1245065

Hundreds of President Donald Trump's supporters were left in the freezing cold for hours after a rally at an airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night, with some walking around 3 miles to waiting buses and others being taken away in ambulances.

Seven people were taken to area hospitals, suffering from a variety of conditions, and there were a total of 30 "contacted" for medical reasons, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement. The Omaha Airport Authority had a slightly different figure of the number taken to hospitals — it said six were "throughout the duration of the event" and added that it could not confirm that the people were taken to hospitals because of the cold.

The bus company spoke up online, said they were supposed to be paid when they showed up, they weren't. They were told everyone would wear masks, no one did. So the bus company called their drivers back rather than get stiffed and risk the safety of their employees further, good for them!

Organize a rally. Charter a bus company. Then stiff them.

I’m not justifying the bus company’s actions, but this has been the Trump organization’s M.O. time and time again.
