Photo shows Wisconsin Trump rally in 2020, not 2022
Associated PressCLAIM: Photo shows a rally for former President Donald Trump in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 5, 2022.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The photo shows a Trump campaign rally from Nov. 2, 2020, which took place at the Kenosha Regional Airport in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
THE FACTS: Trump on Friday hosted a rally in Waukesha, the heart of Milwaukee’s conservative suburbs, to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels ahead of this Tuesday’s primary election.
Social media users misrepresented an image from a 2020 Trump rally in the state, falsely claiming it shows the event from last week. The image shows a crowd of people wearing red caps, and two screens can be seen displaying a message from Trump’s 2020 campaign: “The best is yet to come.”
