President Trump says he is shifting the date of a Tulsa, Oklahoma rally from June 19th, the date of the Juneteenth holiday commemorating the end of U.S. slavery, to June 20th
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would shift the date of an Oklahoma rally from June 19th, the date of the “Juneteenth” holiday, to June 20th out of respect for a day commemorating the end of U.S. slavery.
“Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday,” Trump tweeted. “I have therefore decided to move our rally to Saturday, June 20th, in order to honor their requests.” Referring to his rally, Trump told Fox News in an interview aired earlier on Friday: “Think about it as a celebration.”
Fox News interviewer Harris Faulkner, who is black, later said she was not sure whether Trump was aware of the painful history of Tulsa for African-Americans because her questions in the interview, held on Thursday, focused on the Juneteenth date of the rally. “I think I’ve done more for the black community than any other president. And let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln ‘cause he did good, although it’s always questionable. You know, in other words the end result,” Trump said without explanation.“We are free. You understand what I mean. I’m going to take a pass on Abe - Honest Abe as we call him,” Trump responded.The president said during the Floyd protests in which looting occurred in some cities that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.
