Full statement from Trump campaign on low turnout

Trump’s supporters may be evil, but they are not (mostly) stupid. The smart ones don’t want to contract COVID-19. They didn’t want to be packed into a 19,000 seat germ factory. They stayed home.

I pity the ones who actually showed up. They are the poorest, most ignorant, most deluded, most vulnerable, and the most dangerous people among us. Bless their little hearts.

Man, that one lady protester with the "I Can't Breathe" T-Shirt must have been pretty bad-ass to scare all those Trump supporters away.

...of the "protesters" blocking the metal detectors and preventing the MAGAts from entering the arena, as well as chasing the "overflow crowd" away.

Or OANN will, for sure.

That sounds kinda like they don't want things like guns in the place.

Couldn't they handle that as well as they expect a ten-year-old school kid to?
