Trump Supporters Camp Out Ahead of Tulsa Rally, Despite Virus Risk
Supporters of President Trump lined up outside the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., two days ahead of his rally. The president and some of his supporters have shrugged off concerns that the event could spread the coronavirus.
“I could get the flu someday — you never know. So I’m not going to worry about it. I don’t feel like I’m going to get the coronavirus. I use safety measures when I need to, but when I don’t, I’m just going to be my regular self.” “I really thought this was an important rally for me to go to. It’s the ninth one I’ve been to, but after having been away from rallies for so long, I think that there’s going to be some very important themes the president’s going to introduce here. And I wanted to be here to support his message.” “Well, we have face masks with this — and how do you feel about it, Mark?” “I think it’s all a hoax, to tell you the truth.”
