An estimated 50,000 people descended on Pickens, South Carolina, on Saturday for former President Donald Trump’s rally, according to the city’s police chief.
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal’s Bob Montgomery first reported on Chief Randall Beach’s estimation on Sunday morning.
Though estimates varied among different sources it quickly became apparent that a large crowd would build. Montgomery noted:
Pre-rally estimates of 10,000 to 30,000 were made. During his remarks, Trump claimed the turnout was 75,000. Beach said he needed to get an accurate count from the Secret Service before providing a final number. Around 11 a.m., a secret service agent told the News there are 5,000 inside the gate and approximately 10,000 still in line.

50K people?
Well, Biden gets the same crowd at his rallies. Just remove the “K”.
50,000 at Trump’s rallies and thousands waiting outside.
35 people at Biden’s parking lot ‘rallies’.
90 million ‘votes’ for Brandon next year?
Pardon my pessimism.
Since the media was over reacting to a little misunderstanding at a birthday party in Baltimore, I missed any of the coverage of the White Supremist rioting in Pickens.
What? No riots in Pickens? No White Supremist?
Well, Hush my mouf.
Estimates vary greatly. The Secret Service reported 5,000 inside, and 10,000 outside, just before Trump was scheduled to speak.
BTTT
Golden Eagle lies again...
Reporter got some random unofficial ‘a secret service agent’ to provide some numbers hours before Trump speaks,
and Golden Eagle wants to say it means the no one went to see Trump’s rally
I’m with ya....if rally turnout meant a damn thing Trump would be in the Whitehouse right now.......it didn’t then, it doesn’t now and he’s not.
“Estimates vary greatly. The Secret Service reported 5,000 inside, and 10,000 outside, just before Trump was scheduled to speak.”
Excuse me! Isn’t the “Secret Service” part of the gubmit?
sure our elections are honest
Or add two.
The NSA or some other 3 letter agency knows exactly how many people were there.
And their names, faces, addresses, names of their children, the totals of their bank accounts/investments, whether they EVER said the “N” word, and whether their ancestors owned slaves, just for starters.
Whatever the Secret Service estimate is you can double. And the media you can probably triple.
POS TWO FACE BACKSTABBING DC SOCIALIST SNAKE!!! that’s one reason I gave up on Hannity. Hannity was always propping the fag up ..he’s as dirty as a sanitary napkin!!! Ugh! Fire his sorry treasonous butt SC!!
Rallies don’t mean much. They’re basically preaching to the choir, gathering already Trump supporters together, in a country of over 300 Million. The rub is getting to to the undecided and independent voters, after all, you need as much votes as you can in order to win.
add two, hahaha, well done!
Your post is clearly the lie. I simply linked to a local paper's report, and what they said the secret service's estimate was.
