Trump's Georgia Rally Sees 'Smallest Crowd' in State Since 2016: Reporters
Newsweek ^ | 03/27/2022 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 03/28/2022 2:21:15 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump's Georgia rally on Saturday failed to draw the number of supporters he has been accustomed to in the southern state, according to multiple journalists covering the event.

Trump held the event in support of several of Georgia's Republican primary candidates in Commerce, Georgia, which is about an hour drive northeast of Atlanta. While the former president has regularly seen tens of thousands attend his events in the state, as well as other states across the country, journalists assessed that the crowd size was underwhelming this weekend.

I live nearby. Winds 30-40 mph, higher gusts and cold.

Not a nice day.

Plus it was really Purdues event.

The propaganda ministries are nothing if not predictable.

First, they utterly ignored and buried any stories of the massive crowds at Trump's rallies. What attention they did pay was just long enough to associate his supporters with Nazis and not much else.

But now, the BIG STORY is 'attendance is down'. Rather schizophrenic, really. As in mentally ill. But we knew that already.

I am guessing it’s not true. And this will backfire. His next rally people will make sure they show up and support.. only going to build him up..

5,000 people would STILL be larger than any rally that resident PotatoHeadJoe has EVER had!

Meanwhile, Biden couldn’t even get a warm reception from a few handfuls of soldiers at that DFAC in Poland... on pizza day.

Newsweek’s overall circulation (single-copy sales and subscriptions together) plunged 50% over the span of 10 years, according to the Alliance for Audited Media: In a longer span, it dropped from 3.2 million in 1992 to 1.5 million in 2012. Time, by comparison, saw a 22% decline in that time period.

That’s not true, because when Biden spoke to them, his pants were on fire.

Back in the 60s a guy I knew who was in the John Birch Society told me “you can’t even believe the page numbers in Time Magazine”.

But far less than the 30,000 claimed by the organizers. The rally people really need to start videoing the crowd so they can back up their claims.

I know of people who went and said it was a big crowd and a great rally, with the exception of the cold wind. I also have friends who got tickets and were planning on going, but the wind in north Georgia was wicked on Saturday night, so they decided not to attend. The wind was steady at 20 to 25 with gusts up to 35 and being outside was miserable. My wind-chimes were playing an orchestra on Saturday evening.

____________

Those that I know that attended said the crowd was way more than 5,000. You are correct. The organizers need to videotape the crowd size to show the mainstream media is “fake news”.

Still more than Biden could ever hope to get unless they were getting paid.
