“It just doesn’t concern me at all,” one supporter said about the virus.
Thousands of Trump’s supporters filled the streets of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday morning as they awaited the president’s first rally since the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country, but few people are wearing face masks despite warnings from health experts about large crowds.
“We didn’t hear anything about the coronavirus for two weeks while the looting and protesting was going on and none of them were wearing masks,” another Trump supporter, Trish, who travelled from Springfield, Illinois, similarly told NBC. “And now that Trump is holding a rally it’s all we hear. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.”
President Trump on Friday warned of a crackdown on “any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes» who show up at his Tulsa rally.
