WH Sources: Concerns About Crowd Size for Trump-Luther Strange Event; To Be Held at Smaller Venue Than 2016 Rally
According to the Von Braun Centers website, its Propst Arena has a maximum capacity of 9,000. At Trumps 2016 rally, estimates were much higher.
White House aides told Breitbart News they were worried about turning out a large crowd size for Trump, given they know the president has already given his endorsement and that he and the Vice President Mike Pence are campaigning for the establishment candidate against the presumed anti-establishment candidate former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.
It doesnt look good to have them [Trump and Pence] stumping for the guy who is going to lose, one White House official said.
After the February 2016 rally in nearby Madison, Trump told attendees the crowd was upwards of 30,000.
Law enforcement the day after that event put the figure much lower. Maj. Jim Cooke of the Madison Police Department told AL.com at the time the estimate was between 12,000-15,000 people in attendance, which is still significantly higher than the Von Braun Centers capacity.
And one other thing, ignorant jackass!
