In the days leading up to President Donald Trump’s first campaign rally in months, he touted a reported 1 million ticket requests despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But many on social media were quick to point out that the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was not filled to capacity.

Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, offered an explanation for the smaller than expected crowd size in a tweet, “Radical protestors, fueled by a week of apocalyptic media coverage, interfered with supporters at the rally. They even blocked access to the metal detectors, preventing people from entering.”
Trump later claimed that “a bunch of maniacs” who were “very violent people” had contributed to the smaller crowd sizes and overflow location.
