Trump Picks Tulsa on Juneteenth for Campaign Rally

President Trump’s first campaign rally in months will occur on what’s known as Juneteenth Day, when many Americans commemorate the end of slavery, in a city that was home to an infamous 1921 massacre of black people, one of the worst racial atrocities in the nation’s history, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Anthony Scaramucci: “Trump’s decision to hold a rally in Tulsa, the location of the single worst incident of racial violence in American history, on Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the freeing of slaves, is abhorrent and a wink at his racist supporters. He doesn’t even need votes in Oklahoma.”

Chris Cillizza: “Its hard not to see this as intentional by the Trump campaign.”
