“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.”

I think *some* Trump supporters stayed away from the rally due to fear of hard-core leftist protesters and COVID-19, but... only 6,200 showed up at a 19,000 person capacity venue, plus thousands more were expected at the outside venue with its giant video board and stage??

Something isn't adding up here. All I'm hearing is a bunch of excuses all around.

it was 12K

where are you getting 6K

The arena held almost 20K. I don’t need the people who allowed those through metal detectors tell me it was more than 10K. I could see for my own eyes it was around 10 to 15K people there.
Still great crowd.

Over a million people signed up online for the rally and 6200 showed up. The sabotage is clear.

agree-I saw the tweet from Trump about almost a million tix request, I think the campaign was had-lefties will stop at nothing- when i saw that i said can’t be right the entire population of Tulsa is only 400,000 people, the entire state has less than 4 million-45% are dems and so they shouldn’t have let Trump brag that 25% of the state was travelling to Tulsa to see Trump-does Parscale not have a clue about this? He is trying to cover himself now. Just admit it,learn and move on, denying it sounds foolish cuz campaign put out that they had over 800,000 request

and so yes, something is wrong-they need to charge $1 a tix, so if it happens in the future the campaign would reap a million bucks- need smarter people managing this

Millions watched online. And the live YT comments was pure Trump enthusiasm. Lots going on between the virus and Cary violent maniacs. It turned out great. Hopefully you watched it. If so, you’ll know that.

Outside the venue , leftists were there starting lots of chaos. Watched that part via Anomaly.

Yup. Multiple reasons, the WH has to play it’s cards better from here on. According to the story:

“some Trump supporters told Fox News that news reports of expected high turnout had discouraged them from attending.
“I tried all week to get tickets to the Trump Rally and could’t get the campaign to respond to my applications. I lived within minutes of Tulsa,” Jackie York of Okemah, Okla., told Fox News via email. “When they started showing evening news clips showing people camping outside for rally, I decided not to fight the ‘hundreds of thousands’ of people I assumed would be fighting to go in. We had no tickets. My pastor also wanted to go, but couldn’t get tickets online.”

The WH must have believed the overwhelming demand for a million plus tickets was legit or it would not have set up the outside venue to handle the expected overflow crowds. Unforced error.

“.. only 6,200 showed up at a 19,000 person capacity venue,..”

I believe just over 12,000 attended.

The Fire Marshall, or whoever is giving that 6,200 figure is lying. Looking at the crowd, much, much more than 33% of the place was filled.

Don’t forget that the mayor of Tulsa suddenly declared a curfew the night before and the many people who had been camped in line were given 45 minutes to disperse. I’m sure many of them just decided not to return.

You're lying, trollboi.

There were huge paid protests outside the rally keeping people from being able to reach the metal detectors to get *in*.

Try reading FR threads and you'll find the pics.
