The rally, scheduled for June 19 in Tulsa, Okla., marks President Trump's official return to the campaign trail after the coronavirus shifted campaigning to the virtual realm. The president is also facing criticism over possible exposure of attendees to the coronavirus. The rally's venue, BOK Center, can hold about 19,000 people.,"By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree to not hold Donald J. Trump for President ... liable for any illness or injury."
A disclaimer appears for those requesting tickets to Trump's June 19 campaign rally, telling attendees they voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.Asked what precautions would be taken at Trump's rallies as they restart, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Wednesday"we will ensure that everyone who goes is safe," but she did not elaborate.
Wait ... isn’t the whole coronavirus a hoax? If so, why need a liability disclaimer? 🤔
That’s one way to lower votes for him in November after most of the get the virus. He can have another conspirary after he loses and he would be the fault of it.
i bet there is some legal way you can still sue / why go to a trump rally did he end the wars balance the budget help health care he had his 15 minutes .....
Have a rally but ask people to assume their own risk? But, last weeks “protests” didn’t bother you Step off,
Great!
And just how could they get sick from a Hoax? If you get sick because I’m encouraging you to ignore CDC recommendations, I’m not responsible. GOP leadership in 21st century America.
I was first beyond pissed that he chose the date of the Tulsa massacre, but then thought he's simply too stupid to know what that was.
UglyPresident
Don’t worry it’s not like they’re going to burn the place down.
They SHOULD be able to sue them.
Like a moth to a flame, this man is drawn to making bad decision!
Unpresidential
ok but why not tell that to the “peaceful protestors” you must want them to die or something 🧐
Covid has been cancelled by cancel culture.
Discalimer: Trump cannot guarantee your constitutional rights nor good health. Other than that have a wonderful KKK rally!
RacistInChief
You people are pathetic. Thousands of people can storm the streets in protest and not be affected by Covid and you support it. But Trump holds a rally and it’s bad. Lol... can’t fix stupid
No reason to be afraid of a FakeVirus
I don’t think Trump is considering significance of the dates when he hold rallies. He simply doesn’t care enough about anyone even his devoted followers. The dates of the injustices and murders of blacks are so many that his rallies will surely fall on any one of them sadly.
So tRump is now taking what he termed a hoax seriously? His actions show how worthless his words are...
realDonaldTrump you're going to have TrumpRallies at which you will take precautions to make sure you don't get COVID - TrumpVirus. And you want people attending to be there tight & close. You’re going to be protected, but your supporters have to sign a liabilityrelease. SAD
Trump trying to draw an Antifa presence so he can finally prove they are causing all the chaos
Not a Trump supporter, but if we’re gonna have mass gatherings while rioting and protesting one week only to complain when Trump holds a rally the next then your bias is starting to show. Both have risks. Can’t have it both ways
Not like they would recieve any $$ if they did. Trump still owes money to cities all over the US for rallies held years ago. Trump doesn't pay his bills. Aren't the GOP supposed to be known for being fiscally conservative? So far, he has racked up a pretty big deficit.
Is anyone surprised? Disgraceful
On June19, in the city where Black Wall Street happened
Grim Reaper approves of this ....
Love it, he's killing his fanbase.
Why is this the description for the article? 3/4s of the article is about holding the rally on Juneteenth. Both issues covered in the article are bad reasons to hold a rally now and in this location. Why tease only one part?
If he wants to expose his supporters to sickness...... Who cares lol.
Will FL use the disclaimer when hosting the Rep Convention in Jacksonville? Can't believe, actually I can, we're doing this. Our Gov has to keep Trump happy. Watch our positive numbers mid-September.
Probably unenforceable. I do not wish the suffering of covid on anyone attending trump's events, but I will not be sad if that happens.
Quarantine them for 2 weeks after the rally. In cages.
I'm sure they'll take their chances against your fake virus that has been blown way out of proportion.
anyone who signs that is a complete moron.
😱
Again it seems like Trump cares only for Trump.He doesn’t want to be sued means he knows it’s dangerous yet he does care of his own republican base.This should wake this base up to who Trump is. Those that go deserve the virus. I am sure Trump will be protected every way possible
There should be backlash. But...he won’t care.
Will NPR be as critical for the DNC convention and Biden/woman rallies? Unlikely.
Wait till MAGA MAGA Crowd reads the disclaimer that this rally will be a celebration of Juneteenth and apology for ‘21 Tulsa massacre.
Shhhhhh
I wonder if the protesters & rioters signed a disclaimer for BlackLivesMatter BLM? Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc Blklivesmatter is an actual organization. See here: Tell me, NPR, why didn’t you speak up like this during the protests & riots? 🤔
“The Darwinian Sucker Agreement” However, even if the agreement has been completed by attendees, it does *not completely* remove legal responsibilities. If the organization(s) fail to complete *their* due diligence, lawsuits are still quite possible 😁
Pre-injury releases don’t bar claims in many states. Anyone know about OK?
“ I take no responsibility.” - Trump
Lamo! 'Come to my infection party, don't blame me if you get sick, but I'd be happy to sell you some chloroquine.'
And sadly, anyone wearing a mask will probably be abused.
This would be a lot funnier if they weren't potentially exposing the non-morons too.
Hope they all experience the ‘Rona. They deserve it.
Can they sue over being lied to? Wait, you have to be smart enough to figure that out for yourself.
I don't understand his supporters. They are willing to risk their lives to listen to hours of words that don't make complete sentences.
I wonder how many counter protester's there will be to laugh at for doing exactly what they'll be yelling about.
It’s alright the majority of them don’t believe in Covid anyway
NINETEEN THOUSAND! That'll be some Covid spike, eh?
They’ll label it a rally for black lives and COVID-19 won’t touch them
Careful, NPR...you'll get whiplash when you pivot too hard back to COVID-19 after ignoring the protests crowd infection risk...
Oh, with all the testing and tracing that’s available, there should be no problems.
You are burning businesses down in the name of black hate lol President Trump scares you
Of course it does. He takes responsibility for NOTHING.
“I approve” 👍🏿
Don’t worry, one day covid “it’s like a miracle, it will disappear”
Knowing the quality of Trump attorneys, the disclaimer is likely to be poorly written and yup there's gonna be a settlement.
I think Trump supporters should only sign if the campaign agrees to provide bleach injections and very powerful light booths.
StockholmSyndrome
So now NPR is concerned about COVID-19? Apparently COVID-19 goes away at left-wing protests.
Did rioters sign a disclaimer? Good groef, I signed one to get my hair cut. This isn’t news.
Disrespectful
Come be racists and give support. Can’t sue me though.
...and Trumps a giant racist for having this rally in Tulsa in Juneteenth
And it’s totally hilarious to see people who supported the protests losing their minds over this.
Yeah, these kinds of disclaimers will be standard for any gathering- when we start sports and concerts back up, they will also include it. How is this news?
Fill that place to capacity!
Trump loves Americans but does not care if they get COVID19 Trump loves Black Americans but is holding his KKK Rally on the holiday meant to celebrate the end of Slavery. Trump loves himself and needs his ego fix and to show he is still a Racist, Liar and the Worst POTUS ever
Covid-19 on his way to Trump rally
Oh goodie! Thin out his base!
Way to thin the Republican herd...
next they’ll propose we all sign ndas to vote DefundThePolice DefendBlackLives GreenNewDeal
Freedom!
then sue the governor for allowing it to happen
I’m sure the campaign reserves the right to sue the families of attendees if they contract COVID-19 at the rally and then fail to survive long enough to vote in November.
Trump: 'I won't wear a mask, even in medical facilities because covid is all hype. I am too tough for a mask. Oh, yeah, you have to wear one to feed my ego and cheer me on and don't sue me if you get sick.'
Unfortunately, with the sue happy mentality we've cultivated in the past several years because people don't accept responsibility for their own actions, disclaimers are a common necessity. Suing a fast foot restaurant because coffee was hot seemed ridiculous too, but they won.
RAYOR. Rally at your own risk
It’ll be gone, like a miracle, by then. Don’t worry
Trump to the MAGA cult: come and adore me. Watch me dump on Americans who protest and cheer cops who rough them up and worse. Watch me validate what that 'evil' General Mattis said about me. PS. I never wear a mask. That's optional. 69news 69news
Still working hard for that poorly educated voter.
And this announcement shot the market straight down...
Unenforceable I’m sure.
trump’s mind. Sue anyone for sneezing while he speaks (made up example, but an attempt to show how baseless his suing of people is) and someone suing him, much less criticizing him for libel, plagiarism, fraud or non-payment of contracts is abhorrent. Vote him out!
Rally at your own risk
great idea........bring lots of body bags
FindVanessaGuillen SHUTDOWNFORTHOODBASE
I guess it's not a hoax.
What about the people they’ll infect after the pep rally? Where’s their disclaimer?
It will be interesting to see how many people willingly and ignorantly walk into that arena just to hear the carnival barker spew his string of lies. All the while putting themselves and their families at risk of contracting a deadly virus. coronavirus
dead people can't vote 🤷
If they are dumb enough to sign it, they deserve whatever happens to them.
Fucking RICH
If this does not define reckless and a supine indifference to the well being of others, i don't know what does.
By now it should be clear that making America great requires, among other things, that Trump be removed from office in the next election.
Plain & simple, just be safe & wear facial protection.
Классно
Retake the Soyattle Confederacy with a MAGA rally!!
I guess it's not a hoax after all...
Be sure to include the danger of infections the protests have caused, too. Don’t be selective now. (Unless you want to continue to be unreliable)
The risks of COVID were drastically incorrect. While they were correct that it kills more than the flu, the virus hovers roughly below than a 1% death-rate and 80-90% recover at home. Rallies shouldn't be an issue, but immunocompromised and elderly should stay home.
so stupid!
Bigger than CHAZ
yes, because grownups routinely assess and accept risk and get on with their lives
Dear NPR, has it ever occurred to you just how racist you are? The ONLY way you view the world is in racial colors. Look, we all know you hate the President, but is it necessary to spew nothing but racial hatred day after day? You have your reward.
Tulsa citizens must be very alarmed at the real possibility of becoming the center of America’s culture wars and disruption to the city at a time of the covid-19 crisis. City leaders: do you have something to say?
Does he have a PR person? This is a bad idea sandwich. I hate the guy, but where TH is his tea...oh wait it’s his kids. Got it.
Protest Trump disrespect of Blacklivesmattertulsa Juneteenth June 19, 2020. 5pm E John Hope Franklin Blvd, Tulsa, OK 74106, United States
Very selective with our outrage, aren't we?
When asked for comment, the Trump administration responded with...
Hey NPR, pick any city in the USA and your always going to be a few blocks from some racial injustice from the past. Your politically biased reporting is fomenting conflict not peace. What is wrong with you?
These people would lose their shit if one guy held a sign at the World Trade Center on 9/11
Get over it
What a racist man realDonaldTrump His only goal and hope is to divide this nation in hopes of winning again
The Republican Party freed the slaves and has every right to celebrate Juneteenth.
The disclaimer at the bottom of the registration for Trump's rally in Tulsa: 'By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. ... liable for any illness or injury.'
tonedeaf
There's no defense for bigotry.
Overladen my toes, how come the Hypocrite Governors and city Mayors didn’t over lash about this ? Dem are tyrant Dictators Oct 23, 2016 · Hillary Clinton Says Not Accepting The Results Of An Election Is A 'Direct Threat To Our Democracy'
Everytime I see this fucker , wether on tv or an image online , I immediately flip him off with both hands .
Negative Public Radio, how do you spend so much taxpayer money, including mine, on your crap?
So gross.
Yet democrats have never declared it a holiday so be quite riot instigator.
So insensitive, so arrogant
Democrats.
You need to get the headline right so it more accurately reflects the truth, “the kkk is defending its decision...”
Are there plans for locals business near the rally such as gas stations, restaurants and car parks to be inconveniently closed for remodeling or fresh blacktop or whatever?
He wants it to be a race riot to detract from the fact that he has absolutely nothing of value to offer to the American people.
Just wrong
Stephen Miller... it's not a coincidence.
Low life’s. It’s disgusting
Is he doing it on pupose to incite a demonstration that will turn into a riot?
Just wait for the protests inside and outside that venue.
Of course he would glorify a place of horrible racism!
I have heard of literally nothing that he has done to help black Americans except the rich
Why is that racist? The Republican Party was formed to end slavery from the hands of Democrat confederates. Republican President Eisenhower had to send the 101 airborne to a Democrat state to integrate the schools. Republicans have been fighting the racist Democrats for years.
Let them!
Of course they are defending their decision. They are a band of racists.
Trump and his supporters don’t care. That simple. They don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves. It’s a Libertarian, Nazi, Klan, Russian gang bang really.
Yet again, attempting to defend the indefensible.
Well should we expect different from this idiot! He's got no respect for anyone!
I love it, you have sign a waiver that you can't sue if you get COVID from attending.
Yep. Everyone is racist except Democrats. Except, Democrats forget they ran the Confederacy.
Too bad you don't realize its a good economy, funding of schools, better education, more employment and prison reform that is really going to help. Instead opt for being used as props, treated like victims and people not capable of control of your own lives = Democrat Vote
Trolling this movement is all they got left.
Tulsa knows it's going to get stiffed by Trump on security payment, right?
This is the loudest dog whistle ever. Enough is enough. Vote him and all his cronies out in November.
That must why he picked the site. Great investigative reporting.
When the fuck is Juneteenth because June tenth has come and gone?
Hey NPR I am sure you all could dig up an objection to any location the President picks to do a rally. Sorry but the Trump train is departing full steam ahead. ALL ABOARD!!
NPR is a domestic terrorist organization paid by taxpayers
Deplorable.
Isn’t it time we call them what they are, Hate Rallies...
He’s such a POS.
HE CHOSE IT TO LATE HIS BASE KNOW HE HAS NOT LEFT THE HATE A (BLACK, HATE A JEW, HATE A MRXICAN OR ASIAN) WHITE HATE GROUPS.
If you would spend time on a cure and cure everyone you might actually have a chance of winning something instead of killing something.
Everyone who thinks this is a provocative act to delay the election is right!
so we're going with 'great' again in the slogan?
trumpleforeskin better not claim “T-Town” under his name when he leaves us without paying
He is just horrible!
This is the STUPIDEST person on the face of the earth
He’s transitioning to greatness. The greatest imbecile 😳
I don't see the problem. Now I do! It's President Trump holding the rally, not X-President Obama.
I will fight every day to get my tax dollars away from this fraud of an organization!
First 500 through the gates get their choice of a MAGA Tiki Torch or a TRUMP 2020 body bag.
There is no way this is just a coincidence. It’s a deliberate FU. TrumpIsARacist
Interesting wording. Somehow associate Trump rallies, with an horrific racist event. You are not even subtle anymore NPR. The American people are waking up. The way media manipulates events and plants seeds of hate in people’s minds is what is causing the division we are seeing
InFullBloomUS Tulsa should do everything in it’s power to refuse to host this event. I can’t even believe this is happening! TrumpIsARacist
He will be handing out KKK white hoods and Confederate flags as SWAG. KAG
Sounds like a great way to celebrate America and the accomplishments of our ancestors!
Add Tulsa Oklahoma to the growing list of Covid19 hot spots.
More biased hateful rhetoric from NPR, eh? How about reporting and not opinionating. NPR is garbage.
TrumpIsAnIdiot
He wants to incite a riot. Please have plenty of cameras to avoid a predetermined story of his own device.
Juneteenth is a joke
So lets close off Tulsa forever?
Trump admits he's as racist as the day is long
Does everything always have to be some kind of crazy RACIST conspiracy theory 🖕 CNN MSNBC
It was either that or Massachusetts where Puritans wiped out entire Native Americans tribes. You’re so silly.
Really ? That's your headline? You are referring to your *own* articles as the so-called 'backlash', and you somehow think we didn't notice two weeks of convenient silence about the risks of large public gatherings. I will vote for any politician who will DefundNPR
Expect right wing extremists to burn everything up in Tusla, while dressed as antifa, then accuse liberals and minorities of being rioters. Expect Trump to announce he will issue an executive order to suspend the Civil Rights act... (which he cannot do, but will do anyway).
Oh come on, there will backlash if it’s at Mara-a-logo...
Asshole
And he's planning to give his RNC speech in Jacksonville, FL the same weekend as Ax Handle Saturday
Trump is heaping slice of 5-layer fecal cake.
There's gonna be a showdown
