Donald Trump has criticized Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison as COVID-19 restrictions in the state have forced the Trump campaign to downsize a rally due to be held on Friday.
The president's rally was originally planned for Rochester Airport, but reports on Thursday indicated that the campaign had moved the event to the property of two businesses in the city of Dodge Center.
However, after some confusion, it was later announced that the rally would take place at the airport and that entry would be restricted to the first 250 people to arrive.

In response to the last-minute rally change, Trump blamed the "free speech-stifling dictates" of the governor and the attorney general, KSTP's Tom Hauser reported.
Trump later wrote on Twitter: "We were planning for as many as 25,000 people in Minnesota. Now the Governor, at the last moment, will only allow the first 250 people to attend. Riots plus Omar = WIN!"

"Without question, Minnesota Democrats had hoped that the President would simply cancel the event, but he will not allow partisan politicians to deprive people of their First Amendment rights to gather peacefully to hear directly from the President of the United States," the Trump campaign said in a statement.

How is the Gov. going to stop it?
Democrats are such cheaters. It’s the only way they have a chance. They have no morals.
just call it a protest! everyone knows you are immune to Covid when protesting!
*rolls eyes*
I hate Liberals.
only allow the first 250 people to attend
**************
Purely an arbitrary number. Dems make up the ‘rules’ as they go along.
I imagine the outside area is going to be crazy. People should turn it into a MAGA parade and pack the roads.
Call it a protest, do it anyway. If anything is protected by the first amendment, it’s a political rally. What can they do?
Will the same limitations be imposed by democrat governors in MI, PA, WI and NC?
Gov Walz and Ellis are trying to cover for the Biden “event” that is supposed to take at an undisclosed location in St Paul today where only a handful of people in cars is expected to show-up. Walz and Ellis know that thousands of Minnesotans would turn out for Trump so they are blocking the show of support for Trump. It’s just another way that the Media-Dem Party cheats. Do you ever notice that even in states that are already open Biden insists on the circles? He could have regular rallies in such states but he knows that few would show up so he plays the circle game and boasts that he is so concerned about COVID that he is deliberately limiting his attendance. What a pathetic old man.
Keith Ellison = moslem -— so, there’s that ...
It’s so obvious why they do what they do — time to fight back - well, its way pass time to fight back — this is a full blown attempt to take over and destroy the US by multiple forces ...
Is it me or does the title of this article seem a bit strange?
rump....
Democrat fascism will backfire on them and Trump will get even more good publicity.
I missed the T.
Very unfortunate title, maybe you could ask for some help with it?
The first letter is often in a different font or a graphic that some people have trouble pasting. And nobody proof reads, anymore.
Minnesota Politics.
The DFL, Local Media and the Universities have ruled Minnesota since forever with stunts like this.
It is going to be so great if Trump takes MN.
