Trump Rally in Tulsa Set for BOK Center

President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa next Friday will be downtown at the BOK Center.

It will start at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 4 p.m.

It’s likely several streets in the area will be closed. Tulsa Police expect protests and warn there’s the potential for people to join peaceful demonstrations in order to commit crimes.

The decision to hold the rally on Juneteenth, a day celebrating the end of slavery, has drawn strong criticism from black Tulsans. 

The rally will be Trump’s first since March 2; they have been suspended because of COVID-19, which is on the rise in Tulsa.

By registering for the rally online, attendees agree not to hold any entity connected to the event liable if they are infected.
