RICHMOND, Va. – Donald Trump is holding a rally at the Richmond Coliseum on Friday.
The event is set to start at 8 p.m. The doors open at 5 p.m.
Several people spoke before Trump came on stage, including Virginia Senator Dick Black, former member of the Texas State Board of Education and Liberty University professor Cynthia Dunbar and Corey Stewart, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in 2017 and Trump Virginia Chair.
Trump’s Senior Policy Advisor immediately addressed the feud between Hillary Clinton and the presumptive Republican nominee. He called Clinton a “career criminal.”
Trump echoed the statements during his speech, referring to Clinton as “Crooked Hillary.”
“If the system works, she will not be able to run,” Trump said.
Trump also mentioned Elizabeth Warren, who he called “Goofy Elizabeth” and “Pocahontas.”
“I hope [Warren] is going to be chosen [as Vice President] by Hillary, I’d love it,” he said.
Trump stressed that he wanted to “bring back jobs.” However, he didn’t go into much detail about his plans to boost the U.S. economy or create jobs.
He also touched on people calling him racist saying, “I am the least racist person you’ve ever seen. Give me a break.”
Trump emphasized that he wants to make more trips to Virginia before November.
“You are going to be so sick of me in Virginia,” he said.
Trump held a rally at the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk on October 31. He made another stop in Hampton Roads in February, when he appeared atRegent University for the school’s Presidential Candidate Forum.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was already scheduled to be in Richmond Friday for a private fundraising event at an undisclosed location.
Richmond Police addressed the public’s concerns of possible violence from protesters at the event. Bottles and rocks were thrown at a Donald Trump rally in Albuquerque on May 25, shattering a glass door as tensions between protesters and police escalated.
Police Chief Alfred Durham discussed the issue the day before the rally.
“Police personnel will take swift action and make arrests if they witness any illegal acts,” Durham said. “We will extend every courtesy possible, but if you break the law, you will be arrested.”
