Report from DC - they are handing out tix for innaugural seats at a Metro stop...

A friend called this afternoon to say that Trump folks were handing out Inaugural tickets to anyone who would take them at the exit of a downtown Metro station.

They appeared to be real tickets (not the "commemorative" fake one from the internet) for the cheap seats.

So much for that 'record crowd' he wants. I suggested to my friend to take as many as he can if they come back, and trash them.
