Charlie Kirk oversells tickets for Trump event, 100's queueing for hours refused entry

Including one woman in this clip who spent $1000 on air tickets from New York. They are not happy campers. Especially having to stand for 4 hours in 115-degree heat. What a shame.

from all over America came to hear hatred and lies and the event lied to them and now they hate them and themselves. Sounds like a kind of counter-hippie culture "happening" where the effect of the gestalt was the "art" of the happening. Be grateful for all things, even the negatives. LOL. I am so "concerned" they got robbed again...after how many kicks in the head does one move the head? My impression is that tRump is not so popular even among his own dupes and rubes.

I have caught Kirk’s show on the radio, and he resorts to straight up brainwashing. Worse than Radio Moscow. MUCH more forceful. It doesn’t surprise me he is grifting too. He is one dangerous dude.

I would guess most of the people who attend are from some other part of the country from where the rally is being held.

If you follow sociopaths, don’t complain if you get had by sociopaths.

No superlative can suffice to describe my contempt for TFG and racist Charlie Kirk, but I have no sympathy for these people who got conned.

I mean, it’s not skin off my back these people fail IQ test after IQ test, but I’m sick of hearing about it.

But it’s not a cult, though.
