Trump calls for media outlets to be ‘arrested’ over rally coverage
Trump said The New York Times and other outlets should be arrested after reporting empty upper sections at his rallies, while he claimed thousands were turned away.
- President Donald Trump pushed back Monday against a New York Times report describing empty seating at his October 3 rally in Vandalia, Ohio, insisting the venue was "totally MAXED OUT."
- The dispute stems from a Times report noting stretches of empty upper-bleacher seating during Trump's 93-minute speech, which Trump rejected by claiming spectators routinely "migrate down to the Main Floor."
- Trump claimed "thousands of people were unable to get in," arguing that media coverage misrepresents attendance and that he employs cinematographers to document actual crowd sizes.
- Attacking The Times and other outlets as "Artificial Media Outlets," Trump accused them of "dishonesty and disservice to our Country" while comparing their coverage unfavorably to reporting on Bernie Sanders.
- Moving forward with his campaign, Trump scheduled an appearance in Nebraska on Monday, continuing to promote Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections while maintaining his rallies remain "HOTTER" than ever.
