And no mention of this;)
People like AOC are saying how clever the left is to have signed up just to be able to have a laugh at Trump's expense. This may be partly true, but many people signed up in support of Trump. While I was not one of them, I have read of a few Freepers who did just that.
Being lost is how many people did see the rally electronically. I don't have those numbers but I watched on RSBN and at one point it topped 80K. That is much higher than I have ever seen.
My other issue is the number who were physically there. In my opinion we are a much smarter group and don't just follow like sheep. The Wu Flu is out there. True stats on it are unknown. I'm sure that was a factor.
The black panthers were there and our media did very little to cover that. We all know that red hats and American flags trigger them. They also chant that white lives don't matter.
The campaign needs to charge a 1 dollar ID fee starting now. It does two things. It isn’t a cure but will help. That’s a dollar per ticket, not for 50.
You couldn’t say this on an already existing thread?
OAN reported 4+ million viewers across all forms of electronic media, including TV, and internet broadcasts.
Watched on my computer...135,000 were watching with me.
Thank you for supporting Free Republic.
Charge $10 or $5 for tickets. If your ticket gets scanned at the arena or at the overflow (if possible), your fee gets credited. Or something along those lines..
It’s Fathers Day!! Nobody is paying any attention to fake news!
I guess the Trump Rally thing doesn’t work like I thought it did.
I always figured that, let’s say there were 100,000 ticket requests for a 20,000 seat area, and then the first 20,000 in line get in, with the leftovers getting to watch on big screens outside.
So let’s say that half the 1+ million requests were bogus, that leaves 500,000 real ones. So only 15,000 were in line last night? Photos I saw looked like more than that for sure.
Who wants to run a gauntlet and take the chance of getting injured or arrested if you defend yourself?
Especially if you're unarmed.
BLM, Antifa, and other groups were jamming up the security checkpoints, keeping everyone who wanted to get in from getting inside before the event started.
Require a credit card (Charge $1) and ID scan to reserve tickets. That will accomplish two things ; a) keep tik tok kiddies from falsely reserving bunches of tickets and b) prevent people from blocking security checkpoints if their ID doesn’t match their face or they’d be identified and prevented from future rally ticket requests.
The Antifa and assorted loons are already organizing to hit the Phoenix “Students for Trump” event on June 23.
Has the Trump campaign spoken yet about how they plan to combat this? It’s in 2 days.
And no mention of this;)
Earlier Sunday, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale issued a statement on the rally attendance: Trump campaign statement on bogus claims of ticket hacking “Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don’t know what they’re talking about or how our rallies work. Reporters who wrote gleefully about TikTok and K-Pop fans – without contacting the campaign for comment – behaved unprofessionally and were willing dupes to the charade. Registering for a rally means you’ve RSVPed with a cell phone number and we constantly weed out bogus numbers, as we did with tens of thousands at the Tulsa rally, in calculating our possible attendee pool. These phony ticket requests never factor into our thinking. What makes this lame attempt at hacking our events even more foolish is the fact that every rally is general admission – entry is on a first-come-first-served basis and prior registration is not required. The fact is that a week’s worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of COVID and protestors, coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally. MSNBC was among outlets reporting that protesters even blocked entrances to the rally at times. For the media to now celebrate the fear that they helped create is disgusting, but typical. And it makes us wonder why we bother credentialing media for events when they don’t do their full jobs as professionals.” – Brad Parscale, Trump 2020 campaign manager
Did the liberals actually buy tickets? If so, Trump benefits from the money.
Did they reserve tickets without paying or letting paying customers get in? Election interference and violation of intended attendee’s civil rights.
Also, per a list posted on Gateway Pundit, there were 6.7 million on-line viewers.

What THEY won’t tell you is that the ENTIRE rally was broadcast on local FOX-23 in Tulsa. How many tens of thousands watched it like our group of six? And you won’t hear them mention how many MILLIONS watched via internet. I’ve heard a FIVE MILLION total. And you won’t hear them say how energized, healthy, and articulate Trump was. And you won’t hear of the incredible flyover Air Force One made over the entire Tulsa metropolitan area. And you won’t hear the headline “Commie BLM keeps thousands of Trump supporters out of arena.“
Don’t EVER accept ONE THING the lying media presents. It’s distorted, biased, manipulative, false, misleading, destructive, dividing ... or worse. They are ENEMIES OF AMERICA.
