MAGA Rally Attendees Will Sign Special COVID-19 Waiver

Attendance is a calculated risk, but the liability is now a certainty.

June 12, 2020

President Donald Trump appears to prefer campaigning to politicking most of the time, and who can blame him? The atmosphere in Washington DC is stuffy for most presidents, let alone a man as controversial as Trump. It’s no wonder that he’s been itching to get back out on the road.

And he will, starting in just a few days out in Tulsa, Oklahoma – and with a packed house, despite the ongoing threat of coronavirus.

Attendees at this first post-(but not really post)-virus rally will be taking a calculated risk to attend, and the liability will be all on them.

The sign-up page for tickets to President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa next week includes something that hasn’t appeared ahead of previous rallies: a disclaimer noting that attendees “voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19” and agree not to hold the campaign or venue liable should they get sick.

Trump’s reelection campaign announced Thursday that the president’s next “Make America Great Again” rally will be held June 19 at the BOK Center.

The language was stark.

At the bottom of the registration page for tickets to the upcoming Trump campaign rally is a disclaimer notifying attendees that “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.”

“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 notice states.

COVID-19 cases have surged slightly in recent days, thanks in no small part to Americans celebrating Memorial Day en masse, and the large number of protesters who have been gathering on the streets of this nation.
