Opponents of President Donald Trump celebrated the fact that his rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday night was only half-full, claiming credit for a TikTok prank that flooded the Trump campaign’s website with fake RSVPs.
Trump supporters had camped out for several days in Tulsa, hoping to secure a place inside the 19,000-seat venue, after the campaign reported that over one million people had signed up for tickets. Campaign manager Brad Parscale touted the large numbers as a data-mining success, and an outdoor stage was set up for the president and vice president to address an expected overflow crowd.
