Democrats remain terrified of President Trump being able to directly speak with his supporters.
This is why they fought tooth-and-nail last week to stop his Tulsa rally from happening. The left condemned the president for hosting a large gathering, claiming that such a gathering increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission. However, leftists had a very different attitude regarding gatherings for George Floyd and defunding the police.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) is one of the latest left-wingers to go after Trump, reports sources. Bottoms professed on Sunday that President Trump’s rally was an “embarrassment” to the nation.
Why the Atlanta Mayor Dislikes Trump Rallies
Like many other Democrats, the Atlanta mayor has a vested interest in Trump not winning a second term in office. As a matter of fact, rumor has it that Bottoms is on the list of potential vice presidential picks for Joe Biden.
The Atlanta mayor’s criticism of the president arrived yesterday during an interview with CNN. Not only did Bottoms brand Trump’s successful Tulsa rally as an “embarrassment,” but she also coined the president as a “danger” to America.

Mayor Bottoms didn’t stop there, however. She repeated the typical leftist talking points which assert that Trump “inflames” racial disharmony and fails to bridge certain gaps.
All of this is rich coming from a mayor whose city is literally burning to the ground due to failed leadership. Atlanta police officers are calling out and walking off the job left and right; buildings and restaurants in Atlanta are burning down, yet all Bottoms can think about is her loathing for the president.

How sad is that?
What did you think about the Atlanta mayor’s attacks against President Trump? Should Mayor Bottoms be more focused on the president or the crime and absence of police presence in Atlanta? Let us know in the comments section below!
