Last week, former President Donald Trump held his first post-debate rally in Tucson, a predominantly left-leaning city. The event took place at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, drawing attention to Trump’s new policy announcement and the controversy surrounding the rally before and after.
Before the rally, Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva sparked backlash by posting a profane sign on social media. The sign, which read “F you MAGA, no more Orange” in Spanish, was captioned, “Welcome to Tucson.” At a subsequent Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting, constituents demanded an apology from Grijalva. However, she stood by her actions, stating, “I’ll acknowledge wrongdoing when Trump apologizes for the racist, misogynistic, sexist, inflammatory comments he’s made about women, people of color, LGBTQ…”
Grijalva wasn’t the only notable Tucson figure to oppose the rally. Music legend Linda Ronstadt, whose name adorns the venue, also disapproved. Taking to social media, Ronstadt criticized Trump for holding the event at a building associated with her legacy, stating her deep opposition to his policies.
While the rally drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, it ended with an unexpected turn of events. Approximately 20 attendees, primarily members of the “Latinos for Trump” group who had been onstage, reported becoming ill with mysterious symptoms shortly after the rally concluded. All those who reported falling ill were seated on the side of the stage where Trump made his entrance before approaching the podium.
Pastor Eli Moreno, who opened the rally with prayer, and his wife, Francesca Moreno, were among those affected. Pastor Moreno said that he experienced mild discomfort, but his wife’s symptoms were far more severe. On their drive home, Mrs. Moreno’s nose began to run, her vision blurred, and her face swelled up. They stopped at a Walgreens and encountered another rallygoer with similar symptoms. Mrs. Moreno stated that emergency room doctors flushed her eyes earlier and referred her to an ophthalmologist. Five days later, she was just beginning to feel better.
Mayra Rodriguez, another attendee, also fell ill 30 minutes after leaving the rally, experiencing burning eyes and a severe headache. By the time she arrived at the emergency room, she could no longer open her eyes. After performing an eye test, the doctor informed her that she had suffered a chemical burn. Days later, she continued suffering from blurry vision and light sensitivity.
Several other attendees shared similar stories with The Arizona Globe. The reported symptoms, including blurred vision, severe eye pain, and facial swelling, appeared roughly 30 minutes after the rally ended. One attendee used milk to ease the burning before heading to the hospital, while another reported his face turning red and peeling. They stated that the emergency room staff told them they were not alone—multiple patients from the rally had come in with the same complaints.
The Arizona Globe contacted the Tucson Police Department and the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall for comment, but neither has released a statement.
Danielle Alvarez, Senior Advisor to the Trump campaign, addressed the situation, saying, “The Trump campaign has been collecting information. We remain committed to the countless patriots that attend our high-energy, high-impact rallies across the country.”

So much for the party of love
WOW, now the DEEP STATE is intentionally POISONING MAGA rally goers? 🤔 Think about it, SLEEPY JOE MAYBE gathered 85-100 people to his gatherings, KAMALA has to PAY PEOPLE or use CGI at her gatherings. TRUMP, gathers THOUSANDS at every RALLY. NOW, 1person was killed and 2 injured at a TRUMP RALLY in PA. Another attempt to take TRUMP out was made on SUNDAY as he golfed. Trump holds another SUCESSFUL RALLY with THOUSANDS in attendance and explosives were found near by. NOW, ralley goers at ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TRUMP rally gets randomly POISONED? Sounds to me like the DEEP STATE is intentionally TRYING to scare TRUMP supporters so they won't attend his RALLIES. ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT ITS FINEST! Guess what DEEP STATERS, MAGA SUPPORTERS are NOT GOING AWAY! WE are NOT low testosteron soy boys, brainwashed, liberal, triggered, violent, baby murdering IDIOTS!
HOLD THE LINE Patriots!
The first guy, Thomas Crooks, was a registered Republican who was fascinated by presidential assassinations. His ideology was unclear. He was only 20, when the conscience isn't fully formed, and he had an assault rifle, so why not?
The second guy, Ryan Routh, poked a rifle through a fence at Trump's golf club. He was a Republican who passionately supported Ukraine, but became disenchanted with Trump, calling him a fool who was "devolving" (accurate). Routh tried to enlist in the Ukrainian army unit for volunteers, but he was rejected: he was judged to be undisciplined. He was afraid that if Trump was re-elected he would give Ukraine to Russians. Remember that Trump is up to his eyeballs in debt to Putin's oligarchs.
Maybe Trump should stop golfing four times a week at a course with public roads along its boundaries.
Directed energy weapons d.e.w.! Or chemtrails! I'd say both work together! ! The Havana syndrome!! Dew!! Wake up sheeple!!
This world has turned sick. I ask that everyone say a prayer and ask God to heal there evil hearts.🙏💕
I believe the deep state is using various forms of directed energy weapons. I recommend studying about Havana Syndrome where directed energy was used on members of the U.S. consulate in Cuba years ago. Also, directed energy weapons that yielded similar symptoms on people at an anti lockdown rally in Melbourne , Australia occurred during Covid. Maria Zee of Zeee media from Australia covered it.
Orange man bad
Race baiting (border Czar) good
treason. attack on American citizens on American soil.
when and if they find the Perps send them to Gitmo for questioning
They are all reporting symptoms of MUSTARD GAS EXPOSURE.
The chemical Sulfur Mustard aka mustard gas in it's pure liquid form is colorless and odorless.
Could have been sneaked into the rally in a water bottle.
