Attendees at a Trump rally in Tucson, Arizona, reportedly experienced mysterious symptoms suspected to be the result of a chemical attack.
“Despite their personal health challenges, they remain focused on supporting former President Trump.”
This incident Reported The Arizona Globe, an independent news outlet, reported the news.
According to the report, about 20 people experienced symptoms among a group of “Latino Trump supporters” who appeared on stage shortly after the rally ended – surprisingly, the group appeared next to the stage where former President Donald Trump entered the rally.
Symptoms reported by affected members by the Arizona Globe included blurred vision, facial swelling and severe eye pain, which began about 30 minutes after the rally ended.
Some people self-medicated with milk before seeking medical treatment at a hospital. Some reported having red, peeling skin on their faces. When they went to hospital, staff told them other protesters were also seeking treatment.
One woman was told she had chemical burns after doctors ran a dye test, and she still suffered from light sensitivity and blurred vision days later.
Reporter Christy Kelly, who broke the story for The Arizona Globe, provided additional details in an exclusive statement to Blaze Media.
I have personally spoken to at least eight Latino Trump supporters who were injured at the Tucson rally. They are fervent patriots who are deeply concerned about President Trump's health and their own recovery, and who call for a full investigation into what happened at the rally. While injuries vary in severity, everyone I spoke to has since been treated. I have reviewed two medical reports confirming these injuries, and attendees are unanimous in calling for accountability from the venue. Despite their personal health issues, their focus remains on supporting former President Trump.
The Trump campaign said it was gathering information about the incident.
“The Trump campaign is continuing to gather information and we remain committed to the countless patriots who will be attending high-energy and impactful rallies across the country,” said Daniel Alvarez, a senior adviser to the campaign.
Neither the Tucson Police Department nor the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall responded to The Arizona Globe's requests for comment.
Steve Baker, an investigative journalist at Blaze New, responded to speculation that the symptoms could be caused by energy weapons.
“If it has chemical trace elements in it, it's probably not a directed energy weapon,” Baker said.
