MAGA Rally Cameraperson Goes Rogue To Show Trump's Actual Crowd Size After Trump's Brag

After Trump bragged that his rallies "always have huge crowds and never any empty seats," a cameraperson covering the rally took it upon themselves to pan around the arena to instantly fact-check the ex-President.

As Republican President Donald Trump boasted about his massive crowd sizes at a rally in North Carolina over the weekend, a sneaky cameraperson live fact-checked him by showing rows of empty seats.

A viral video taken at Greensboro Coliseum featured Trump falsely claiming that he's had "the biggest rallies in history of any country," and he continued describing the popularity of his rallies from his perspective, saying:


"Every rally is full. You don't have any seats that are empty."

However, the clip filmed by an attendee showed that wasn't the case as Trump spoke.

The camera panned across the 22,000-seat arena showing many rows of empty seats and an entire upper tier blocked off to visitors with a large black curtain obscuring additional empty rows.

Confused supporters were seen looking around at all the unoccupied seats near them as Trump continued talking about his popular rallies.

Several people were also spotted getting up from their seats and leaving the venue during his speech, and we're guessing they weren't all making a beeline for the restrooms simultaneously.

Crowds thinning out at his rallies is something the ex-President is still bitter about.

He got defensive on the topic of low rally turnout during his only presidential debate with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on September 10, telling her:

"People don't leave my rallies. We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.”

People were loving the rogue camera work that exposed the lie of Trump's "packed rallies."









On Monday, Trump held the first of four rallies in Raliegh, where there were thousands of empty seats and no line to enter the venue, according to NBC News.

During his speech, he bragged about the turnout at Friday's Milwaukee rally at Fiserv Forum, estimating 28,000 attendees were there that night despite the maximum capacity of 18,000.

“We could have filled that arena three times, maybe four times,” he said.

His second rally on Monday in Reading, Pennsylvania, didn't fare any better. The arena appeared half full before Trump's scheduled appearance, forcing an hour delay.

Trump's third rally at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh saw thousands in attendance; however, the upper deck was partitioned off and many empty seats inside the venue were visible.

With Election Day here, there is one thing we can know for sure.

We never have to hear about rally crowd sizes again. At least for now.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
