'Just Nasty': Fox & Friends Blames 'Mean Girl' AOC For 'Empty Seats' At Trump Rally

[JonLP24]

The hosts of Fox & Friends on Sunday suggested that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was to blame for a number of empty seats at Saturday Trump campaign rally in Tulsa.

"There were some empty seats in that stadium that we could all see," host Griff Jenkins announced during the Sunday show, noting that Ocasio-Cortez had praised "teens on TikTok" for making fake ticket requests to the campaign.

"This kind of makes my blood boil," co-host Jedidiah Bila complained. "One thing I cannot stomach is an adult mean girl. Why would you be proud of people for doing something, first of all, just nasty. If you're going to buy up tickets to try to fake somebody out and make them think -- I mean, that's just nasty behavior."

"Remember how much we heard about campaign interference?" co-host Pete Hegseth chimed in, referring to Russia's interference in the 2016 election. "Now, she's so proud of this millennial zoomer campaign interference. It's very, very telling."

1. For a freshman Rep from the Bronx, AOC sure has free rent in a lot of RW heads...

[Trumpocalypse]

28. Not just RW heads

[dchill]

2. "It's very, very telling."

Indeed, Pete. Indeed.

[gratuitous]

3. You can't stomach adult mean girls, Jedidiah?

Have you met Kayleigh or Kellyanne or Sarah? And nobody bought up tickets - the campaign was giving them away for free. It's hardly Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's fault the Trump campaign is so inept.

4. As they thank Gawd for Putin and Russian operatives working to put Trump in WH

[tulipsandroses]

5. I knew it was a matter of time that they would be yelling campaign interference

Muddying the waters as usual. The real story is. They could not fill that arena. The Kpop fans, Tik Tok users, and whomever, did not stop Trump fans from getting tickets and actually going to the rally. The trump campaign got punked into thinking 1 million people wanted to see the orange turd. In reality, only 6000 people wanted to show up to this spectacle.

14. The crowd was small because....

The crowd was small. Own it.

6. Looks like she's th latest GOP boogey(wo)man.

Fat Bastard was emonizing her last night at his poorly-attended rally, too.

[Proud liberal 80]

7. I still don't get how this caused empty seats

It may have caused an empty overflow and exaggerated expectations, but people still didn’t show up. It’s not like the campaign had a limited number of tickets that they were giving out.

[Phoenix61]

13. This. What a bunch of whiners. nt

[Mariana]

18. People didn't show up because they figured they'd never get in.

That's what I think. Between the exaggerated ticket numbers, and the stories about fans camped out for days, people stayed home.
Would you go spend all day in the awful Oklahoma summer heat, if you thought your chance of admission was all but nonexistent? They stayed home to watch teevee instead. By the time the campaign sent out their desperate last-minute messages begging people to come, it was just too late for them to bestir themselves and drag their carcasses to the venue.

[BComplex]

25. That's another possibility. Why get COVID when you're not even going to get in?

The whole things is FUBAR.

[madaboutharry]

8. They are comparing American teenagers to the Russians!

That is rich.

[Varaddem]

19. Has everyone forgotten

Trump wanted to partner with Russia on cyber security?

[cwydro]

9. I think it's funny as hell that Braddy boy got trolled so badly.

But I wish they didn't have this excuse to fall back on.

I want them to know that people just did NOT want to attend that stupid shitshow.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. This!

And I don't believe the impact of the trolling was that great.
BTW: it was PINO & Li'l Brad that publicized the demand. If they just shut up, people wouldn't have thought they had no chance to get in.
So, prank or no, they are the group that mismanaged this. Don't give them external excuses.
They.Screwed.Up!

[Zoonart]

10. Such a stupid argument.

Just saying ... the fact that there were spoof ticket holders does not change the fact that there were not many ACTUAL ticket holders. It is not as if they limited the number of tickets available and actual MAGATS were boxed out. LOL LOSERS! After all there could have been anywhere between say 6500 and 500K actual ticket holders.... but that didn't happen.

[Jirel]

11. Congrats, AOC!

You’ve been called a nasty woman.

Nasty women everywhere, keep up the good work!

[greenjar_01]

12. If the Trump bubble wants to believe that K-Pop stans reduced attendance to 6,000, let them

It's absurd, but the more they misread the indifference and annoyance of the people with Trump's bullshit, the better.

[Phoenix61]

15. Excellent point. Let them keep rolling with

a losing campaign strategy.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Wait! Did AOC praise the teens BEFORE the rally or AFTER it? If after, she had no influence on it.

[Raven123]

20. AOC was kidding like Trump was kidding about reducing coronavirus testing. Can't take a joke Doony?

[Azathoth]

21. "One thing I cannot stomach is an adult mean girl."

One of these days the News Corp building is going to explode in a supernova of pure weapons-grade irony.

[Renew Deal]

22. Nobody "bought" tickets

That's part of the problem.

[Takket]

23. children locked in cages....... no issue

man strangled to death by cop...... no issue.......

AOC thinks its funny K-pop fans reserved free tickets to an event they weren't going to.... blood boiling.

anyone see the problem with these sociopaths?

[Afromania]

24. What is their problem will false equivication??

Some kids getting tickets to an event and not showing up is not the same as an whole nother government trying to get somebody elected.

[Mr. Ected]

26. Fox and Friends, friendly people with only friendly takes

On the news of the day.

My God. Their entire purpose is to lie, destroy, annihilate, distort, mislead, scapegoat, project, blame, dissemble, name-call, alienate, incite, blaspheme, and foment emotional outbursts.

And they have the nerve to point fingers.

[Blue Owl]

27. I blame Tulsa Gabbard
