Plans for former President Donald Trump to return July 4th weekend to the city many credited with lending legitimacy to his 2016 campaign after USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park commissioners reportedly did not sign off on a plan for Trump to hold a rally at the Mobile site.
The commissioners were concerned that Trump’s appearance on Saturday “was going to be a partisan political event, rather than just a patriotic event planned for that evening,” Bill Tunnell, chairman of the commission, told NBC 15.
Efforts to reach Tunnell were not successful.
The commissioner told the station the body asked Attorney General Steve Marshall for an opinion on whether it would be acceptable for the park to hold the rally. Marshall said he could not give the group a formal opinion in time for the event but said the park can be used for political purposes as long as all parties and candidates have equal access, NBC 15 reported.
The park was the site of a campaign rally for 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
“Rick Santorum was the, was the straw that broke the camel’s back. And that’s when the commission went to the no partisan politics open to the public,” Tunnell said.

Sorry dudes, it ain’t gonna work
Well, gee, ya think!
THIS makes me want to go all in for Trump in 2024.
So, only two political parties allowed: (D)’s and RINO’s.
Partisan...
i.e. people who love America vs the Hate America First party
A coward dies a thousand deaths...
You weren’t before???
Republicans need to make their own parks./Sarcasm
FRicking Democrats!
Not going away.
Patriotic is now partisan. Welcome to the former United States of America.
With “Republicans” like that who needs Democrats?
Just find a field in the middle of nowhere and people will show. Whatever Trump does it shouldn’t include folding to these damn leftists. We will go the extra mile. And the more I think about it, a field in the middle of nowhere is an excellent idea. Allow people to show up in RV’s, campers, and have tents. Tailgate all weekend. Get to know people and have party. Good food. Good music. Good fellowship. Make plans to destroy the left and the establishment.
Yes! Great idea!
Partisan? Did the ads say “NO ANTI TRUMP PEOPLE WILL BE ADMITTED!”? Then the permit folks can phu cough! Or just head to P’cola.
That worked really well at Woodstock.
I had not seen or heard of this one. He has one on the 3rd in Sarasota. Nothing yet on the talked about GA and NC events?
Yep, I’ve a friend who lives in a red city. During the 2020 election campaign he said people had either Biden signs or American flags, never both.
