Trump campaign: 'Radical leftist' mayor @Jacob_Frey trying to shut down Minneapolis rally washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/… via @washtimes
According to the Trump team’s statement, “the ridiculous sum of $530,000 is more than 26 times the estimated security costs for a 2009 Target Center health care rally held by President Barack Obama.”
The @TargetCenterMN, the home of the NBA’s Timberwolves, then attempted to pass that bill along to the Trump campaign “under threat of withholding the use of the arena,” the Trump statement said.
The law firm Jones Day wrote to the Target Center’s management firm that “this last-minute squeeze seems to be nothing but a pretextual political effort with serious First Amendment ramifications.”
“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.
