Trump canceled an outdoor speech at his rally in Tulsa after lower-than-expected attendance



Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were set to speak to a planned overflow crowd outside Tulsa's BOK Center. Members of the media at the event reported that the crowd inside the arena was sizeable but still far smaller than expected.

Trump's campaign boasted that over a million people had requested tickets to the rally. But photos and videos on the ground showed that many sections were empty.



He further claimed that "radical protestors, coupled with a relentless onslaught from the media, attempted to frighten off the President's supporters, adding, "we are proud of the thousands who stuck it out."



But as the Washington Times' story itself noted, "areas outside the arena appeared to be sparsely populated about an hour before the president's arrival." And a pool report from Washington Examiner report Rob Crilly said that there was no sign of protesters or supporters on Trump's motorcade's route to the arena.
