Tulsa arena management accused of sabotaging Trump campaign event to keep attendance low
June 29, 2020 | Jon Dougherty
A report written by an anonymous person claiming to have attended President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa earlier this month accused the venue management team of sabotaging the event to keep attendance low.
In the report, published late last week at Armstrong Economics, the anonymous attendee claims that they and scores of others “never got past†an area where BOK Center workers were initially taking the temperatures of people who wanted to get in and see the president.
The anonymous writer described several layers of security and points of entry, ranging from Secret Service checkpoints that funneled rally goers into various lanes where they could have their temperatures taken, per coronavirus protocols, before entering the venue.
But, according to the report, temperature screeners left their stations early — hours before the event began — and thus were not able to clear as many people to get into the venue.
“It was all a setup to make it look like the crowds did not show up. The crowds DID show up and after 5pm,- 2 hours before the event- no one was there to let them get to security,†the report states.
“With only about 3/4 of the building full, and no overflow crowd-then. CNN boasts that the rally was a flop. The only thing that was a flop was BOK temperature screeners turned away thousands of attendees that never got to be near the rally,†it added.

Annoymorously sourced.

"Accused" by whom?

Accusations by an anonymous source -- sigh --
There were pictures of protesters interfering with people trying to get into the arena. IMHO -- poor preparations on the part of the Trump camp. You'd think that they'd have their own people ensuring that things were run more smoothly -- it seems that they were ill prepared for the inevitable push back from the rioters, either that or they didn't have the full cooperation from the Tulsa police department nor the cooperation of the arena management.
Next rally? Hopefully Trump's proclaimed "warriors" will show up and not be intimidated by what happened in Tulsa, nor discouraged.
