    Smaller-than-expected crowd at Trump rally

    [​IMG]

    In the days leading up to President Trump's Saturday rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he and his allies ginned up expectations for a massive crowd with campaign officials telling CNN that more than a million people had registered to attend, and one local official stating they expected 100,000 to show up near the arena.

    But those crowds didn't appear as large as expected Saturday afternoon, leading to an abrupt change of plans by the campaign.

    A campaign source told CNN that the team was abandoning plans for the President to speak to an "overflow" area outside the arena in Tulsa where only a couple dozen people were standing near the outdoor stage less than two hours before the rally.

    Trump campaign blames "radical" protestors, media for lack of crowd size

    The Trump Campaign is trying to blame “radical” protesters, even saying some were allegedly blocking metal detectors, for frightening off some of the President’s supporters from attending the campaign events today in Tulsa.

    Several CNN teams on the ground said they did not see any of that type of activity near the event site. There were protesters in the downtown area, although there was a large security perimeter preventing them from getting within blocks of the arena where the rally is being held.

    “President Trump is rallying in Tulsa with thousands of energetic supporters, a stark contrast to the sleepy campaign being run by Joe Biden from his basement in Delaware. Sadly, protestors interfered with supporters, even blocking access to the metal detectors, which prevented people from entering the rally. Radical protestors, coupled with a relentless onslaught from the media, attempted to frighten off the President’s supporters. We are proud of the thousands who stuck it out,” campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told Ryan Nobles.​

    CNN teams on the ground – including one that has been at the main entrance nearly all day – said they have seen no evidence of protestors entering the security gates.

    Gary Tuchman, who reported from various locations in downtown and spoke with multiple supporters, said nobody mentioned the problems referenced in the statement.

    And Abby Phillip reported that when she went through security to the overflow area there were very few people coming in and that it was not possible for protestors to access the metal detectors.

    MSNBC had reported earlier that protestors blocked one of the gates.

    CNN has reached out to the Secret Service for comment.

    I count over half a million viewers watching the live rally of various YouTube channels.

    Trump is high-energy this evening, and touting his accomplishments.

    Not sure what you're talking about. Biden isn't holding rallies in the midst of a pandemic.

    Fact check: Trump claims his administration is responsible for passing Veterans Choice
    From CNN's Tara Subramaniam

    Sue Ogrocki/AP
    The President claimed his administration was responsible for passing VA choice, which provided the Department of Veterans Affairs more resources to improve access for veterans and allow them to seek care from non-VA providers.

    Trump later added to the falsehood, saying “for decades and decades they wanted to get it done.”

    Facts First: The Veterans Choice bill, a bipartisan initiative led by senators Bernie Sanders and the late John McCain, was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2014. In 2018, Trump signed the VA Mission Act, which expanded and changed the Choice program.

    Social distancing. Trump would rather crowd thousands of people together to boost his ego than look out for people's wellbeing.

    Uhmm, yes he is

    Trump has a million people signed up for his rally tomorrow. This is a photo of Joe Biden's first "rally" since emerging from his basement.

    Now do you understand why the Left is trying to stop Trump from rallying his supporters?

    So having an uninspiring candidate like Biden is now called "social distancing"? Biden couldn't even get 12 seats filled.

    Based on the turnouts, he hasn't been holding rallies at all.

    For starters, I'm sure people are still on edge about the virus.

    But I'm not sure why Trump has rallies or anyone goes. Every single person in the country knows exactly what he's all about: America first, low taxes, strong economy, law & order, etc.

    I'm still waiting to hear one, just one, policy Sleepy Joe has.
