Oklahoma Senate candidate abbybroyles says Pres. Trump’s Tulsa rally puts “hundreds of thousands of people at risk.” “All those people are going to go into our stores and our restaurants and our churches and infect so many more people. It's reckless.”
The decision came after local lawyers asked the court to block the event unless organizers agreed to take steps to adhere to the administration's own social distancing recommendations to limit the spread of coronavirus. Paul DeMuro, one of the attorneys on the lawsuit trying to block the rally, said that -- despite the emergency motion to block the rally being denied -- the case will head to the state Supreme Court."The lawsuit is still intact and moving forward," DeMuro told CNN.
They point to the CDC-recommended guidelines in their complaint as evidence that the proposed event could cause a great danger to the public. Lara Trump, a senior Trump campaign adviser and daughter-in-law to the President, said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that the campaign will not"enforce that everybody wear a mask" at the rally. "We are offering people masks," Lara Trump said."If they choose to wear them, we are happy with that.
