Trump Campaign Rejects Claim That TikTok, K-Pop Fans Sabotaged Tulsa Rally

President Donald Trump’s campaign said that media organizations are spreading false narratives about Trump’s rally in Oklahoma on Saturday after a smaller-than-expected crowd of people turned up, saying that the CCP virus and protesters were the reason why fewer attended.

“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,” campaign manager Brad Parscale told Fox News on Sunday. “Reporters who wrote gleefully about TikTok and K-Pop [Korean pop music] fans—without contacting the campaign for comment—behaved unprofessionally and were willing dupes to the charade.”

Parscale continued, “Registering for a rally means you’ve RSVPed with a cellphone 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.”

It came after Twitter users claimed they sabotaged Trump’s rally by allegedly reserving scores of tickets online before failing to show up. The claims were highlighted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who said that teens on the Chinese social media app TikTok and fans of K-pop were responsible for the lower turnout.

Media outlets repeatedly highlighted the attendance by publishing photos of empty seats at the top of the auditorium.

They are scared out of their minds if they have to put in this effort. Soliciting a teen campaign to sabotage his rally. And talking about it all day. If they weren’t threatened by knowing he will win, they wouldn’t even put on the effort,

Remember, the TikTokkers were the toilet lickers in the early days of the Corona Panic.

I have NOTHING for this Asian Invasion.

Whoever that was in a position to know said that over a million people signed up and 6200 showed up. I heard over the radio that a million had signed up.How many showed up, I don’t know. The guy whose post I responded to posted 6200 showed up. I presumed that he knew what he was talking about and believed him. With this much difference between signup and attendance numbers most people would think something is not right. The title of the thread reads: Trump Campaign Rejects Claim That TikTok Fans Sabotaged Tulsa Rally. I myself saw a picture of the authorities struggling with “protesters” and read that President Trump cancelled his plans to address the fans outside the building due to the noise created by the “protesters”. Even the blind should be able to conclude something was not as it should be. Which indicates a problem in any language. A problem needs to be recognized, identified, confronted,and solved. Denial only makes worse.

This is the only complaint I have with the guy who tweeted out about the ticket number requests.

Also don’t forget Tulsa declared the place a civil emergency before it got revoked.

If I’m being told a million people requested tickets I wouldn’t go either. Like you said, who wants to stand in lines and not get in?

The mistake is NEVER talk about the ticket numbers beforehand because it looks bad when people don’t show, and announcing a lot of people are showing when people are still scared of Corona and riots is a way to discourage those from coming and being left outside.

“Some 12,000 people attended the rally, based on a count of those who passed the metal detectors.”

No disrespect to Forbes but I will believe The Epoch Times a million times before I believe anything from Fake news Forbes which was sold to the Chinese a few years back and has been going down hill since.
Further, I will much rather believe the actual gate count of the metal detectors at the entrance of the hall than some fire department estimate.
This was not an outdoor even. Every single person outside of President Trump and other VIPS, had to go to through metal detectors to gain entrance, so we know the details exact numbers.

Not 300,000 tickets. The final number was over a million. Look at the dates on the tweets.

Steve Schmidt is bragging on Twitter that his teenage daughter has hundreds of tickets.

Now why would a teenage girl care about a Trump rally? Answer: She and millions of other teenagers have the China-operated TikTok app on their phones.

Legitimate Trump supporters stayed home when they saw these numbers.

thank you!!

In an arena that holds 19K you can clearly see that it was 3/4ths full not only 6K.

I'm not sure why some here keep obsessing on this issue?

Could Biden get 12K to come out and millions watch on live stream?

Are they low key trolls or do they want us to reassure them POTUS isn't losing his base? well ...guess what we can't do that.
Just keep watching, the rallies might struggle all through the summer because the leftists are not going to let up on the threats of violence and the corona stuff.

You don’t need a ticket or a bar code. It’s first come first serve. The tickets are just to have an idea of how well the rally will be attended and increase Trump’s data base. The metal detector showed 12 K scanned. I think there were more because the people on the floor account for a lot of empty seats.

Oh yeah and the Biden event had 4 chairs, two of which were empty.
