Debate rages as Harris team claims 'many empty seats as Trump is speaking' at latest rally https://t.co/KpUM60qmGw

NPR's Stephen Fowler took issue with the posts, saying, "The Harris campaign is using an outdated screen grab of a video feed to say there’s a lot of empty seats at Trump’s rally."
"The only seats that are open right now as Trump is speaking are a few rows for press that are on risers/on the floor," Fowler added. "Republicans (and Trump) also claim that Harris’ rally was only full for Megan Thee Stallion and people left en masse when Harris was speaking - which isn’t true (The reality is that tons of people are excited for both candidates - and people leave early to avoid crowds to leave)."Ummm...that would be this:
Seems to be taken from the RSBN live feed. Why would they put an outdated pan of the seats against a live shot of Trump speaking? Sabotage?Camera pans to show many empty seats as Trump is speaking

At the beginning of his speech.Trump: The school administration stopped us from getting another 500, 600 even 1000 people in.. If they're going to stand in the way of admitting people to our rally imagine what they are they're going to do on election day. pic.twitter.com/IMHFKiSVEl
