Former President Donald Trump recently blasted the administration of a Georgia university Saturday and stated that they were preventing hundreds from entering the Atlanta arena that Vice President Kamala Harris filled just days earlier via Mediaite.
Trump reckoned that it was a part of a left-wing conspiracy against him and connected it to the November election at the Saturday Trump rally. After he took to the stage at the 8,000-seat Convocation Center, images began circulating on social media showing numerous empty seats.
Harris’s official X account claimed the number of empty seats was in the “hundreds.”
During his remarks at the venue, Trump complained there were “thousands” outside who wished to come in but were denied entry. Trump said:
I have to tell you, we have thousands of people outside and the state was terrific – and the fire marshal, I will say could not have been better. Thank you to the fire marshal. But the school administration stopped us from getting another 500, 600 even 1000 people in. Thousands of people were told no, and that was okay. But we could have fit another 600 people.
So I don’t know anything about the school. I don’t know anything about this school, but they could have allowed more people. You got people standing outside. Look at all the people outside. They could have come in, they could have come in. So we’re not happy.
Looking up, Trump said, “Hello out there.”
The former president concluded:
And then they actually pushed the people very far away from the building where we have beautiful cameras set up for the overflow crowds, the administration of the school. So I’m not sure if I’m gonna be sending anybody to this school. I’m not happy about it. If they’re going to stand in the way of admitting people to a rally, just imagine what they’re going to do on Election Day. We’re not going to let that happen.
