Updates from Tulsa
I'm probably not alone in thinking that President Trump's rally in Tulsa is going to be, um, newsworthy. There is so much that can go wrong, after all. Here's a short list:
1) It turns into a COVID super-spreader event. We wouldn't know about this, of course, for a couple weeks after the infections had developed.
2) Some kind of conflict between protestors and Trump supporters. The tensions seems to be quite high there right now.
3) Trump may say something so epically offensive--even for him--that comes out of this super-heated and racial charged situation.
Or, I suppose, all three. Yikes.
If you want to keep track of things going on in Tulsa, I would recommend the Twitter feed of my friend Randy Roberts Potts, a native of the place who is writing about events there this weekend.
