President Donald Trump already raised some brows when he announced that his first re-election rally since the nationwide quarantines would take place on Juneteenth in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

According to TMZ, “the President’s 2020 reelection campaign just announced details behind his highly-controversial move to host a rally next Friday in Tulsa — and it includes a disclaimer: By registering to attend you are automatically agreeing NOT to sue if you contract the coronavirus.
“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.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.”
As we previously reported, while the White House has not given a clear reason why the president chose to hold his first rally on Juneteenth or at this historic site, most people believe the intention is clear.
