(I truly feel bad for you guys. You find out what the MSM has been telling you about Trump's support, which you believe without question, is false in the real world)
Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager, lol!

Sorry little waldo, but attendance was under 10,000.

I know it hurts, but you'll get over it.

Sorry son. She said it was the biggest event ever held there no matter how much you try to minimize it. They gave out 95,000 tickets.
Freedom Hall Civic Center opened in 1974 on the Liberty Bell Complex next to Science Hill High School. The arena was built by the city of Johnson City to be used as an entertainment venue and additional space for the middle and high schools located on the property. Over the years the venue has been used for sporting events, theatrical productions, concerts, ice shows, and a rodeo venue.
Former and current entertainment include acts such as Disney on Ice, Sugarland, Luke Bryan, KISS, Third Day, Shrine Circus, Aerosmith, Metallica and many more including even Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally on October 1st 2018 which saw tens of thousands line up to see him speak.

So Trump out performed all those acts too.


I get why Democrats hate this. Might as well admit the place was packed and move on.

i've never argued that she made that claim, in fact i was the first to directly quote it. she then goes on to give a specific breakdown of attendance, amounting to 9,000 to 9,500 ( not 20,000+ )

that's pretty stupid for a 8,500 capacity venue.

Well, you know...……….." Murica, pickup trucks, and Trump !" Those are the parameters by which we judge who is a " real American", and who is not.

even if you took both of WK's claims at face value that would mean they gave out 75,000 tickets to people that didn't attend.
