Sean Hannity claimed 100,000 people tried to enter Trump rally, but people are sceptical

Recently, Fox News host Sean Hannity in a tweet claimed that more than 100,000 people tried to gain entry into the Trump MAGA rally in New Jersey. But some social media users and people are sceptical about Hannity's claims because the Wildwood Convention Center where the convention was held only has a capacity of 7,000 people.

Unverifiable claims

The convention centre has the capacity of 7,000 people and 10,000 people at most, this is why people are sceptical about his exaggerated claims. Congressman Jeff Van Drew who represents New Jersey's 2nd district claimed that 100,000 tickets were requested for the event. But the congressmen did not provide any evidence and therefore the claims remain unverified.

 

Local media that was there at the event reported that there were thousands of people outside the convention centre not tens and thousands of people.
