Trump threatens protesters the day before his rally in Tulsa
President Donald Trump warned Friday that anyone coming to Oklahoma to protest "will not be treated" like they have been in other areas of the country.
The president's threat came a day before he plans to return to the campaign trail with a massive in-person rally. The rallies have not been held for months out of concerns about spreading the coronavirus. The rally, which comes amid a nationwide protest movement against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death, is also expected to draw virtual and in-person opposition from activists and demonstrators.
