The Democrat mayor of Minneapolis is trying to keep the President from holding a Keep America Great Talky in his city.
How is he doing so you might ask? By extorting the Trump campaign and jacking up Security by 20 times what it cost former President Barack Obama to speak in the city in 2009.
It cost Obama $20,000 in security in 2009, but the Mayor wants the Trump campaign to pay $530,000.
Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale has this to say:
“This is an outrageous abuse of power by a liberal mayor trying to deny the rights of his own city’s residents just because he hates the President,” Parscale said. “People want to hear from their President, and no mayor looking to beef up his resume for a run for higher office should stand in the way.”
Jones Day, a law firm representing the Trump campaign, fired off a letter to the Target Center’s management firm accused the mayor of trying to disrupt the rally.
“This last-minute squeeze seems to be nothing but a pretextual political effort with serious First Amendment ramifications,” the letter read.
