Trump campaign, Democrats joust over Tulsa rally turnout
The Trump campaign on Sunday sought to blame concerns about protesters for the lower-than-expected turnout at the presidents rally in Tulsa, even though the campaign itself had raised expectations about attendance by touting the number of people who had signed up for tickets online.
Reporters on site also saw little evidence of attendees being blocked from going to the event.
In the days leading up to Saturday nights rally, Trumps reelection campaign repeatedly touted figures suggesting that as many as 1 million people had signed up to attend. But the crowd did not fill the 19,000-seat BOK Center, with swaths of upper-level seating empty.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, campaign adviser Mercedes Schlapp argued that turnout was lower than expected because Trump supporters were afraid of protests outside the venue turning violent.

They're just full of lame ass excuses.
