Viral Videos Show Teeming Throngs of Maskless Trump Fans Lining Up for Tulsa Rally [View all]

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.
