Trump Blasts Fire Marshal For ‘Political’ Interference After Thousands Are Left Outside His Rally Despite Massive Empty Spaces Inside
Whistleblower Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says Donald Trump renewed his complaints on Monday about fire marshals limiting the size of his rally crowds, telling reporters in Columbus, Ohio that thousands of fans were kept out of the city’s convention center “purely for political reasons.”
DailyMail.com says the local fire marshal disagreed, telling reporters that the event was always to be limited to 1,000 audience members – something he insisted Trump’s own staff knew ahead of time.

“They were turned away by – for political reasons – purely for political reasons.”
NOT AMUSED: Trump blasted the Columbus City fire marshal and asked if the mayor is a DemocRAT while he showed off a picture of a largely empty room that he said was a recent crowd in the same city.
