Trump To Start Campaign Rallies On Juneteenth In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Where Coronavirus Cases Are Spiking

The rally comes amid Trump's flailing approval ratings.

Amid a new wave of coronavirus cases in many states and protests against police brutality, President Trump announced Wednesday that he will resume his campaign rallies on June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, located in a county that's seeing coronavirus infections spiking dramatically.

It'll be Trump's first rally since March 2, with the resumption of his free-wheeling live events coming amid the president's flailing approval ratings and poor head-to-head performance in polls against presumptive Democratic candidate Vice President Joe Biden.

During the pandemic, Trump compensated for his inability to hold in-person events with elongated, televised White House briefings, and later used official visits to manufacturing facilities in swing states as pseudo campaign stops.

Tulsa County on Tuesday reported its largest one-day increase in confirmed cases, beating its previous record at the end of April and bringing the total in the county to 1,261 cases.

The rally will also take place on Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S., and around two weeks removed from the 99th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre, when a white mob destroyed the prospering "Black Wall Street" neighborhood of Greenwood and killed as many as 300 black people.

Trump rallies are also planned in Florida, Texas, Arizona and North Carolina; the campaign has yet to detail safety procedures.

In total, there are 1,994,834 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States with new cases still rising in 19 states, as well as 112,647 reported deaths.

Trump's campaign has pointed to the protests occurring during the pandemic as justification to jumpstart the rallies again. Demonstrators are pushing for accountability and policy changes in policing following the death of Floyd while he was being forcibly restrained by Minneapolis police officers including Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Some local municipalities have taken action, from banning chokeholds to cutting funding to announcing plans to disband and rebuild departments. The Trump administration has yet to propose any policy it would support but has said changes to qualified immunity protections outlined in a House bill are a "nonstarter."

Trump is restarting his campaign rallies. The first will be on Juneteenth in Tulsa — the site of the Tulsa race massacre.

The 1921 Tulsa race massacre began after a rumor that a Black man raped a white elevator attendant. Reports said he just tripped and grabbed her arm.

President Donald Trump is restarting his campaign rallies that were put on pause due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, which in the US has infected nearly 2 million and killed more than 112,000.
President Donald Trump will host his first rebooted rally on June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, The New York Times reported.
Some have pointed out that Trump's first rally would be held on Juneteenth — a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery that is commemorated by Black Americans as an independence day — in a city where a race massacre took place 99 years ago.
According to CNN, hundreds of African-Americans died during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

In a statement, Trump campaign advisor ⁦Katrina Pierson defended the move.
"As part of the party of Lincoln, Republicans are proud of the history of Juneteenth, which is the anniversary of the last reading of the Emancipation Proclamation," Pierson wrote.



The Tulsa race massacre happened 99 years ago.
Tensions between white and Black Americans in the city were high due to the success of "Black Wall Street," or the Greenwood District, which had more than 300 Black-owned businesses.

Mechelle Brown, director of programs at the Greenwood Cultural Center told CNN that white people at the time would make comments like: "How dare these Negroes have a grand piano in their house, and I don't have a piano in my house."


White armed mobs stormed Greenwood after an incident where Sarah Page, a 17-year-old white girl, who operated an elevator initially claimed she was assaulted by Dick Rowland, a 19-year-old Black man who took the elevator.

"This particular day after the elevator doors closed and Sarah Page and Dick Rowland were alone in the elevator a few moments, there was a scream," Brown told CNN.

The account of events varies, as the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum points out. As CNN wrote: "Other historic accounts say Rowland tripped leaving the elevator, grabbed Page's arm, she screamed and an onlooker went to authorities."

Rowland reportedly ran after the incident but was arrested later and charged by local authorities, though Page declined to press charges. Rumors circulated that she was raped.

After an "inflammatory" story in the local paper, the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum said, the confrontations started off between a group of Black and white men, who confronted each other in front of the courthouse where Rowland was being held. After gunshots were fired, the Black men retreated to Greenwood, before a white mob destroyed and looted the district.

According to Human Rights Watch, more than 1,2o0 houses and 35 square blocks were destroyed in just one day. By the end of the massacre, "Black Wall Street" was decimated and photos showed Black people dead in the street. The Tulsa Historical Society and Museum explained that "contemporary reports of deaths began at 36. Historians now believe as many as 300 people may have died."

Despite the magnitude of destruction, the massacre was largely ignored and missing from the educational curriculum in the state.
"Oklahoma schools did not talk about it. In fact, newspapers didn't even print any information about the Tulsa Race Riot," US Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma told CNN affiliate KFOR in 2018. "It was completely ignored. It was one of those horrible events that everyone wanted to sweep under the rug and ignore."

June 1, 2020, marked the 99th anniversary of the massacre, as protests for racial justice continued across the country after the death of George Floyd, a Black man, who became unresponsive when a white police officer knelt on his neck. All four officers involved were fired and charged with crimes relating to his death: ex-officer Dereck Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter, three others were charged with aiding and abetting.


Trump's response to the protests has been widely panned and he called for law enforcement to 'dominate' protesters in the street.
Trump has criticized protesters and made insensitive comments about Floyd.

Past rallies have been a hotbed for violent rhetoric, and Trump has a history of racially charged comments.

In the past, he called African nations "shithole countries," and said there were fine people on "both sides" in response to white supremacists gathering in Charlottesville in 2017 that left a counter-protester Heather Heyer dead.

"President Trump has built a record of success for Black Americans, including unprecedented low unemployment before the global pandemic, all-time high funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and criminal justice reform," his campaign advisor also said in the statement.




According to The Times, Trump's planned rally comes as polls show his political opponent former Vice President Joe Biden leading by several points.
In her statement, Pierson also went on to reference an incident where Biden called out two Southern segregationist senators by name as he defended himself over accusations of being "old-fashioned," The New York Times reported at the time.


"Joe Biden spent last Juneteenth raising money at a private fundraiser and defending comments he made celebrating his work with segregationist senators," she wrote.

Biden said he was speaking on the need to "be able to reach consensus under our system," but some other democrats had accused him of "too focused on overtures to the right," the Times reported.

Trump won Oklahoma, a deep-red state, by 36 points in the 2016 election. The state began lifting its coronavirus lockdown on April 24. However, experts warn that the risk of catching the coronavirus is not over.

Oklahoma had recorded 7,480 cases of the coronavirus and 355 deaths, as of Wednesday, June 10. According to The Times, it's very unlikely that any social distancing measures will be put in place and attendees will most likely not be required to wear masks. However, some campaign officials said they were considering providing hand sanitizer to reduce risk.


"Americans are ready to get back to action and so is President Trump," Brad Parscale, the president's campaign manager, said in a statement earlier in the week, according to the Times. "The Great American Comeback is real and the rallies will be tremendous."

Donald Trump will hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, next Friday – his first since since states began shutting down in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed more than 110,000 lives in the US.

The 19 June rally will likely rattle some public health experts, as coronavirus infections rise in about a dozen states. On Wednesday, the US approached nearly 2 million confirmed cases.
Trump’s signature rallies often draw tens of thousands of people but have been on hiatus since 2 March because of the coronavirus. The president’s campaign has been eager to resume them as it tries to move past the pandemic, even as cases continue to rise in some parts of the country.
A Trump campaign spokesperson tweeted a movie trailer-style video earlier Wednesday that advertised: “This month we’re back.”



“A beautiful new venue, brand new. We’re looking forward to it,” Trump said during a White House event. “They’ve done a great job with Covid, as you know, the state of Oklahoma.”


The announcement, which comes amid sweeping protests against racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death, also raised eyebrows for its date – a day known as Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery – as well as its location in Tulsa, a city with a troubling history of racial violence.

Tulsa’s 1921 race massacre saw the destruction of black businesses and residences at the hands of angry, white mobs, and has been described as “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.”

Trump’s announcement comes as the president has criticized the Floyd protests and referred to those demonstrating against police brutality as “thugs”.

Oklahoma, a reliably Republican state which Trump won in 2016, was among the earliest states to begin loosening coronavirus restrictions, with salons, spas and barbershops reopening in late April. The Republican governor Kevin Stitt’s most recent reopening phase places no limits on group gathering sizes as of 1 June, and leaves the decision about how closely to adhere to social distancing guidelines up to business owners and local officials.

State health officials say 47 new Covid-19 cases were reported in Tulsa county on Tuesday, according to most recent county data available, with the overall death toll standing at 973.

The president said he would first hold a rally in Oklahoma before moving on to other states like Florida, Arizona and North Carolina, where the Republican national convention was originally supposed to be held.

Coronavirus hospitalizations are currently on the rise in Arizona and North Carolina, which could intensify public health concerns about resuming the campaign rallies.

While the rallies will likely spark public health concerns, some of the president’s allies have argued the recent protests, which have attracted thousands of people, could shield the rallies from potential criticism.

Some on Twitter compared Trump’s decision to hold the rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth to Ronald Reagan’s choice to launch his 1980 campaign with a speech lauding “states rights” near the site of the notorious “Mississippi burning” murder of civil rights workers.

In 1964, three civil rights workers were abducted and killed by the Ku Klux Klan, just south-west of Philadelphia, Mississippi, and surreptitiously buried in a dam.

Reagan delivered a campaign speech within walking distance of the dam, proclaiming “I believe in state’s rights.” His language echoed that of white Southerners who used the phrase to justify segregation.

It remained unclear if the campaign’s choice to hold the rally on Juneteenth was intentional.

The Trump campaign appeared aware of the significance of the president holding the rally on Juneteenth.

Responding to a Bloomberg reporter, a Trump campaign advisor wrote that “Republicans are proud of the history of Juneteenth”.

The president has acknowledged the date before. In 2017, Trump released a statement, saying: “Melania and I send our warmest greetings to all those celebrating Juneteenth, a historic day recognizing the end of slavery.” That year, Trump also delivered a rambling speech during Black History month, calling the famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice”.

Yes, I understand the factual concept that any descendent of slavery is, well, a descendent of slavery. However, there is definitely an "organization" identifying themselves by the acronym with a website and manifesto, etc.. What I was asking is are these guys a part of that group? I suppose not.

And as for them being an utter disgrace, especially now, I can't even find the words. Excuse me I'm going to be sick...again.

None of the people in #ADOS are working for or with Trump. The only Presidential candidate they worked with was a Democrat. Of course, Democrats cant demonize our lineage by stating that fact.

Lars brings on Raynard Jackson, Founder and Chairman of Black Americans for a Better Future, to discuss the Democrats push to pay reparations for the descendants of slaves. It begs the question, how exactly would we select recipients of these reparations? The proposed bill would cost up to half a trillion dollars which several Democratic candidates have already given their support for. Listen below for more.

The post Should America pay reparations for the descendants of slaves? appeared first on The Lars Larson Show.
