Trump campaign chief operating officer reassigned following Tulsa rally fallout

Michael Glassner -- the Trump campaign's chief operating officer, who previously handled President Donald Trump's rallies -- has been reassigned to deal with legal affairs during the homestretch of the campaign.

Aides began making plans to put Glassner in this new role following the rally on June 20 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the President spoke to an unfilled arena -- a scene about which he has continued to fume. Though there were questions about campaign manager Brad Parscale's future, Glassner was seen as a potential target as well, given the prominent role he played in orchestrating these events.

Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh denied that the reassignment was a reaction to the Tulsa rally.

"This is not a reaction to Tulsa. Michael Glassner is moving into the long-term role of navigating the many legal courses we face, including suits against major media outlets, some of which will likely extend beyond the end of the campaign," Murtaugh said in an email. "He is one of the founding members of Team Trump and his dedication to the success of the President is unmatched."

When in doubt just flat out lie.

BTW The reason Tulsa went bad is because:

1) Trump is a turd and people are done with him.

b) People don't want to get sick and or die from C-19.

Might want to rearrange those deck chairs on the Titanic.
