The campaign claimed that Trump’s outdoor speech was canceled because of protests, a position that appeared to already be setting up the media and protesters as fall guys for the rally’s mediocre turnout
Large sections of the upper stands were clearly empty at President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday, following days of campaign boasts that the venue would be packed to overflowing because some 1 million people had requested tickets to the event.
Three Associated Press journalists who covered the rally said they did not see protesters blocking people from entering the event. Schlapp doubled down on her claim, stating that protesters “absolutely” prevented people from traveling to the rally. She added that over 5.3 million people watched the event online.
“The media, which encouraged protesters and bombarded Americans for more than a week with dire warnings against attending a Trump rally, are still unable to prevent President Trump from reaching the people,” the statement added. “We’ve had such an overwhelming response that we’re also looking at another venue,” Vice President Mike Pence also told Fox News on Tuesday. “We’re also looking at outside activities.”
