Gov. Stitt says he, Sen. Lankford now recommending Trump not visit Greenwood District

Gov. Kevin Stitt said Wednesday he is now recommending that President Donald Trump not visit the Greenwood District in Tulsa on Saturday.

...

Trump was initially invited by Stitt to tour the Greenwood District.

...

“Great decision,” said state Rep. Regina Goodwin, D-Tulsa, who is chairwoman of the Black Legislative Caucus. “It appeared to be more provocative than productive. Racial tensions are running high and we should be focusing on advancing all of Oklahoma.”

State Rep. Monroe Nichols, D-Tulsa, said from the very start he thought it was inappropriate for Trump to visit the Greenwood District based on his remarks during a white supremacy rally in Virginia in which Trump said there were very fine people on both sides.
