No wonder people on both sides feel there's fake news. 


You make it sound like it was the media who originally put out hose numbers, where in fact, it was put out there by the fake president’s campaign team. 
Flake news?

I heard it in the media so naturally I would think that... All we heard all week is talk of Covid 19, no social distancing, super spreader... Of course it's the media.

On the surface.... you could call the whole thing, somewhat of a fiasco.

Although, with the MAGA attendees sitting there with no social distancing or masks.....

Lifted from a Forbes article this morning

KEY FACTS

The Trump campaign set expectations high for the rally, announcing that they had received more than a million ticket requests, despite the venue, the BOK Center, seating just 19,200.

Anticipating high turnout that would exceed that capacity, the campaign planned a second, outdoor speech to address the crowd in the overflow section.

But those hopes quickly evaporated on the evening of the rally, with reporters tweeting photos of the rally showing huge swaths of empty seats in the stadium.

The campaign ended up cancelling the second speech to the overflow section, with Communications Director Tim Murtaugh blaming the low turnout on the media and protesters, who he claimed blocked access to the entrance despite reports that nobody was turned away from the rally.

Andrew Little, the Public Information Officer for the Tulsa Fire Department, confirmed to Forbes on Sunday that a tally taken by the fire marshal clocked the turnout at just under 6,200 people, far fewer attendees than the campaign expected.

The fake president, and his staff say that Trump was joking about slowing down testing. 
Well, there are a lot of jokers involved...that’s for sure.

 

 

 

I wonder if they think that the families of the people that have died from the virus think it was funny

It was Trump’s organizer Brad Parscale. The media did not create the story, he did. Just because the media reports it does not put it on them when the numbers come out low. It’s on the Trump team. 
 

And despite Parscale’s claim that protesters and the media scared away attendees or blocked them from getting in (THAT is the fake news) here is what supposedly really caused the low turnout:

Here is a second video of him getting off Air Force One and on to Marine One. Just going to note that if Obama gave a dismissive salute to one marine (Getting off the plane) and then walked past a second one (when boarding the chopper) without saluting, Fox would have excoriated him over “not being Presidential”. 
 

And just for comparison, here is a time Obama did forget to salute while boarding an aircraft:
