Trump Is Humiliated After His ‘Biggest Rally in History’ Lie Is Immediately Exposed by Cameraman

There's nothing like a real-time fact check.

Here’s a quick one for those of you who are sick and tired of the “people actually ARE leaving Trump rallies” articles we like to publish here. I personally never tire of those, because he keeps saying he has the biggest rallies ever and nobody leaves, and they keep on being small and emptying out early.

You’re tired of hearing it because it’s repetitious. But your patience has paid off, because this is by far the greatest example of him being dead wrong of this entire campaign, and it just happened on Saturday.

I thought we’d reached peak STFU, Donnie with this article about the dude right behind him leaving as he was talking about how nobody leaves. But that was all the way back on Halloween. There’s been PLENTY of time to top that since then. And boy, did the camera operator at his rally in Greensboro, North Carolina come through for us.

The scene: The moment when Trump busts out the old canard about huge rallies where there are no empty seats and nobody leaves.

“We have had the biggest rallies in history of any country, and every rally is full. You don’t have any empty seats,” Trump said to the crowd, as though everyone hadn’t just seen Kamala’s rally the weekend before dwarf his biggest one this campaign by almost 30,000 attendees.

Literally as soon as he said it, the expert camera operator, whether possessed by a spirit of maliciousness or of humor, did a pan on the area where the rally was taking place.

You could almost HEAR the yawn of the technical wizard as they zoomed in and out of the crowd, showing first a wide swath of completely empty seating areas. Then the camera comes to rest on an extended period showing a large crowd of people exiting the rally, before panning back up to more empty seats.

Republicans love to say “But were they really leaving? Maybe they were going to the bathroom.” Yes, Fox News. All of those people you just saw on camera were going to the bathroom at the same time. The camera follows the crowd all the way out the door.

It really is too good for words, folks. I’m going to let you watch for yourselves, and feel free to share this to Facebook or wherever with a triple cry-laughing emoji for good measure, because this is hilarious.
