Nearly 6,200 people attended President Trump's rally Saturday, the Tulsa, Oklahoma, fire department says. The Trump campaign disputes that, saying 12,000 people went through metal detectors.
Tulsa, Oklahoma Just fewer than 6,200 people attended President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Tulsa Fire Department said Sunday -- a figure Trump's reelection campaign is disputing as it also seeks to blame"radical" protesters and the media for it's smaller-than-expected crowd size.
The department monitored the crowd at the Bank of Oklahoma Center, an arena that can hold just more than 19,000, and public information officer Andy Little told CNN that Saturday's general admission count does not include suite holders, staff and media. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh disputed the department's count Sunday, saying,"12,000 people went through the metal detectors so that number is way off.
