President Trump on Friday warned individuals against protesting in Tulsa, Okla., ahead of his Saturday campaign rally there, suggesting any demonstrators would be treated harshly.
“Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis,” Trump tweeted Friday. “It will be a much different scene!”
Trump has heavily criticized Democratic leaders in New York, Seattle and Minneapolis for not sufficiently cracking down on demonstrations that have erupted across the country to protest racism and police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
The city of Tulsa has announced a curfew for Friday and Saturday in order to prevent violent protesting around Trump’s rally, which has been shrouded in controversy since the president initially announced plans last week to hold it in Tulsa on June 19.
Trump was forced to move the date to June 20 after widespread outcry over the campaign’s decision to not just stage the event on Juneteenth, an annual holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States, but to stage it in Tulsa, the site of one of the deadliest incidents of anti-black racial violence in the country in 1921.

“lowlifes” LOL That’s great.
Juneteenth is an annual holiday ?
I can’t spare this man, he fights.
Good. I hope any “protesters” are beaten bloody. These “people” need to be shown actions have consequences...
Is The Hill even a news site anymore or a far left propaganda outfit?
Trump warns “protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes” not to go to Tulsa and they have a headline
“ Trump warns protesters ahead of Tulsa rally”
Looters are not protesters. They are thieves.
Yes, it is.
The mayor of Tulsa declared a curfew to keep people from waiting overnight in line for the MAGA rally after no curfew for demonstrations. Why does the POTUS think the mayor will protect him and the atendees against lowlifes? Is he going to bring his own forces to keep the streets quiet?
He’s not allowed to say “thugs” on Juneteenth.
Now that is a pot stirring.
I strongly suspect there weren’t any serious plans to even try it, at least not anywhere near the rally, and I assume he knows this. Now, is this meant to troll them out? I think he knows they wont even try, and wants to gloat about it after the fact.
I think enough Americans will be there
It is unfair that the Curfew applies to Trump Supporters peacefully waiting in line to get into the rally.
“but to stage it in Tulsa, the site of one of the deadliest incidents of anti-black racial violence in the country in 1921.”
so, does something that happened in a city 100 years ago mean that no one ever again can go there, celebrate there, or have a rally there, or is it just Trump that can’t?
250 NG has been called up to provide extra manpower. Trump will take care of this. If the Tulsa cops interfere with the NG, we have a Civil war.
Get earth movers and dump trucks standing by in case they need to quickly clear out an area.
I call them cockroaches but if he said that that would be called RACIST
Send in the Czar’s Cavalry. Horse-stomp the bastards!
That state is open carry for any reason!
