Former President Donald Trump is claiming the crowds at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rallies are AI-generated. However, that claim has been deemed false.
According to Harris’ campaign, about 12,000 people attended the vice president’s events in Philadelphia and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, last week, per USA Today.
The campaign also said 15,000 attended rallies in Romulus, Michigan, and Glendale, Arizona.
This was confirmed by thousands who witnessed the the crowd sizes as well as news outlets.
However, Trump posted on Truth Social that something doesn’t add up.
Specifically, Trump disputed a photo of supporters greeting Harris when she stepped off Air Force Two in Michigan.
“There was nobody at the plane, and she ‘A.I.‘d’ it,” Trump claimed.
The Harris campaign responded on Truth Social with a video of Harris arriving with her running mate Tim Walz.
“In case you forgot @realdonaldtrump: This is what a rally in a swing state looks like,” per her campaign.
On Sunday, Trump compared in a post the crowd sizes to his claim the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him.
David Plouffe, former campaign manager for President Barack Obama and current Harris adviser, responded on X, formerly Twitter.
“These are not conspiratorial rantings from the deepest recesses of the internet. The author could have the nuclear codes and be responsible for decisions that will affect us all for decades,” Plouffe wrote.
When previously asked about Harris’ crowd sizes by reporters, Trump responded, “Oh, give me a break.”
He also previously said the crowd at the Jan. 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” rally was larger than the crowd at Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech.
“I’ve spoken to the biggest crowds. Nobody’s spoken to crowds bigger than me,” Trump said.
The Harris campaign seemingly mocked Trump and his stance on crowd size when Walz spoke to more than 15,000 people at a rally in Arizona.
“It’s not as if anybody cares about crowd sizes or anything,” Walz said.
