Trump Campaign Slams Minnesota Officials for Limiting Trump Rally at Last Minute

President Trump’s reelection campaign slammed “free speech stifling dictates” in Minnesota that will limit attendance at a Friday evening rally, billing the move as a partisan shot by the state’s Democratic leadership.

“Trump will be speaking to the people assembled there, but he will also be speaking directly to every citizen who lives in one of these Democratic lockdown states,” Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh told reporters on a call.

“Now, the president wants everyone to be safe and take precautions, but he knows that we need to keep reopening America. Biden represents lockdown, along with the Democratic governors in the states,” he added.

The Trump campaign lashed out at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, both Democrats, late Thursday over directives to restrict attendance at the Friday rally.

The notice came after Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden announced a socially distanced drive-in rally in St. Paul at 3:30 p.m., 90 minutes before the start of Trump’s event, his fourth campaign visit to the state this year.
