The chairman of Trump's 2020 campaign responds to the idea that K-Pop fans impacted rally attendance: “Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap don’t know what they’re talking about or how our rallies work'

The Times reports that a plan to register for free tickets but not show up to the rally was organized by users on the app TikTok and social media accounts by Korean pop music fans. Videos with millions of views spread across social media, but were deleted after 24-48 hours in order to keep the operation secret.

Mary Jo Laupp, a TikTok user from Iowa, told the Times she posted a video calling for people to register for tickets and not show up. Her video went on to get two million views. She claimed that at least 17,000 tickets in the 19,000-seat auditorium were claimed by no-show attendees.

yes they are guilty for sure 😂

So it was just indifference then. Got it.

That’s because they weren’t. The low attendance numbers were because he is massively losing support. Entrance was first come first served to the arena, not reserved seating. The super high expectations of “over a million” were because of TikTok teens and KPOP fans, duh.

Bebé Twitter is on fiyah

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAD FORTY TICKETS?!”

So they're admitting that the low attendance was because people just didn't want to go?

At least that means Trump Campaign aren’t calling police on them. TikTok Fans and Kpop Stan lives matter.

denial is not just a river I hope they keep doing it! kpopstans TicTok

GirlHusker84 I also deny I'm over fifty and fat. But that don't change the facts.

Why? I mean, the alternative is actually admitting his supporters 1) are afraid of COVID or 2) aren't as into him as they used to be. TrumpRallyFail TrumpTulsaRally BunkerBoy

I’m pretty sure he’s embarrassed that a bunch of gen z kids just punk’d his ass.

Not sure this is such a good response strategy. Trump team basically admitting that not many people wanted to attend.

well I will definitely trust what the trump campaign says 🤡

Oh , really? Because I got my email verifying my tickets for an event I was never going to attend.

please stop by and leave a prayer ty-------

This is just so sad that they are hiding behind these excuses. So sad.

Has parscale been fired yet?

That’s rich! It’s pretty obvious that parscale doesn’t know how their rallies work either. TulsaFail

Once as a freshman in high school a girl in class bragged that she was “a virgin.” And for some reason, this prompted me to blurt out “me too.” Same energy here from the campaign chairman.

Doesn’t matter. Glad they did this. They went low like the TrumpCampaign. trumpabouttlosehisjob!

Nope it wasn’t them! It was all trump and parscale!

How is 'I wasn't sabotaged, I just suck at putting together a rally' A better argument?

I completely agree: It had nothing to do with online trolls, the low turnout was due to the overwhelming national loathing of your odious candidate. Thanks for the correction! 😀

You would think that Trump would play himself as a Tictoc victim here.

Got that, libs? parscale gets all the credit for the humiliting failure.

These cheap, half-ass, childish, left-wing tactics will guarantee Trump's second term! Trump 2020!

The tang hued scourge GOT played by teens on tik tok and K pop, Best Father's Day ever for me!

Or is it you who doesn’t know how your rallies work parscale? You built an outside stage for ‘overflow’ LololoLololol

Apparently, they do.

Fact. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

Foreshadowing.

This is so funny vote them orange out

Meanwhile At the white house 😂.

they weren't behind the empty seats per se. it was first come first serve on site, meaning those who came there first would get first pick on seats. so the fake ticket orders didn't prevent others from getting tickets, nor seats. it just meant that trump boasted abt fake numbers.

🤣🤣🤣
