Trump campaign asks supporters to waive COVID-19 liability to attend Tulsa rally
Source: Roll Call
Supporters of President Donald Trump are being asked to immunize his campaign from COVID-19 liability claims if they want to attend his next campaign rally.
By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, the online registration form for the public says. By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.
The BOK Center is the large indoor arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that will be the site of the June 19 Trump reelection campaign rally, the first for the president since the coronavirus pandemic has dominated the publics attention. ASM Global manages the venue.
The White House and congressional Republicans are focusing on including limitations on liability for coronavirus-related claims in any economic aid package. It was not immediately clear how that might apply to political campaigns.

(220 posts)I expect to see more of this reasoning as we open. I wonder if all that text would fit on the back of a theatre/sport/church ticket!
"Assumed risk" is similar: horse riding are inherently dangerous and (at least in TN) you have to post special language that informs potential horse-renting/riding clients that they are accepting the risk. The rules were modeled on similar rules on skiing that saved the ski industry, I believe.

(17,739 posts)trump admitted to his own lies about covid not being a big deal, and he's willing to risk the lives of his stupid supporters for photoops.
This should be in the media constantly.
Is the Lincoln project listening? Show trump's words about covid being a flu and then show the text of this registration.

Just like he offered to pay legal expenses. And then didn't.
What they should be signing is, "I'm a chump."

I'm poor at remembering all his lies, for much the same reason.
