Tulsa Health Director Wants Trump Rally Postponed

Dr. Bruce Dart, the Tulsa City-County Health Department’s director, told Tulsa World he wishes the campaign rally for President Trump on June 20 would be pushed back to a later date.

Dart said Tulsa is seeing a “significant increase in our case trends” that makes a large gathering like the rally dangerous for not only attendees, but the president himself.

Said Dart: “I think it’s an honor for Tulsa to have a sitting president want to come and visit our community, but not during a pandemic. I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well.”
