Air Force base warns service members to avoid 'patriot' rally with speaker from pro-Trump group
Fox News
Leaders at Minot Air Air Force Base sent a text message that warned airmen about the dangers of being near a conservative rally that featured a speaker from a pro-Trump group.
At issue was a planned Nov. 17 event dubbed the "Dakota Patriot Rally" at the state fairgrounds in Minot, and the text warned personnel "to be cautious" if they were in the area, especially because some rally-goers "could be confrontational to military members." The text, which was shared with the popular "Air Force amen/nco/snco" Facebook page, also noted that the event would feature a guest speaker from Turning Point Action, which the warning noted is an "alt-right" organization.
Turning Point Action, a 501(c)(4) organization founded in 2019, typically promotes conservative values and has a history of support for former President Donald Trump.
