Ted Lieu @tedlieu
US House candidate, CA-33

Why so many empty seats at the #TrumpsCoronavirusRally?

A. Seeing @POTUS is not worth dying

B. @realDonaldTrump’s base shrank so much they can’t even fill an arena in a red state

C. Campaign lied about how many people got tickets

D. Knives Out is now available on Amazon Prime

Here's my wild guess on that ticket count:

Parscale sent a campaign email to all the deplorables regarding the rally. In it, he leads them to click through to see a web page on the event. Fine print says: "by going to our site, we will automatically reserve a ticket for you to enter the rally but it will be on first come/first serve basic, so get there early!" That could be where the million ticket number came from.

Otherwise, either a.) someone hacked their site and used bots to order hundreds of thousands of tickets or b.) they're flat-out lying.

I'm sorry - I thought I heard that you wanted your campaign in a 'Death Spiral'

Though it leaves plenty of room for deep state conspiracies.
