Roger Stone Tried To Pass Off Rod Stewart Concert Pic As A Trump Rally—And Now He's Walking It Back

The GOP operative tried to mock Biden by sharing a photo of what he claimed was Trump's rally crowd in New Jersey—except it wasn't a rally at all, or even in the United States.

It truly is 2020 all over again. And 2016, for that matter.

GOP operative and Trump campaign mastermind Roger Stone has once again been caught trying to bamboozle the American public (though given how gullible Trump's followers are, who can blame him).


Stone attempted to inflate the attendance of Trump's recent rally in New Jersey by using a photo of something else entirely and saying it was a photo of the crowd.

It was actually a photo of the crowd at a Rod Stewart concert. In 1994. In Brazil.

The mayor of Wildwood, New Jersey, where Trump's rally was held, claimed 100,000 attended, though photos and videos of the event indicate a smaller crowd.

Even if it had drawn 100,000 people, however, Stone's claim is patently absurd.

The photo he chose shows people gathered in Rio de Janeiro for New Year's Eve 1994, where Rod Stewart drew the largest concert crowd in history on Copacabana Beach—the same venue where Madonna recently broke the record for the largest crowd at a standalone concert not part of a larger event.

In any case, there are literally millions of people in that crowd—4.2 million in all according to the Guinness Book of World Records—which is, you know, 40 times more than 100,000. Also? New Jersey is not known for its mountainous beaches. The Poconos are lovely and all but they are nowhere near the ocean.

But no matter! Stone just subsequently claimed the tweet was a joke and that liberals just don't have a sense of humor.

On social media, Trump's slavering acolytes aside, nobody found Stone's dumb tweet particularly amusing.












Others countered with a photo alleged to be Trump's actual crowd, which of course paled in comparison.

Anyway, seems like the strategy in 2024 is the same as the last two times Trump ran: Lie through your teeth then blame it on "liberals" when you're unmasked. These guys are so lucky Trump's followers are so gullible since he actually has nothing useful to offer them other than grievance and lies.
