Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez heaped praise on countless teens who punked Donald Trump and his campaign Saturday night in a big, big way.
Trump and co. had been touting that huge crowds — 100,000 strong — would show up for his Tulsa rally, yet he couldn’t even fill a 19,000 seat arena … it was only 2/3 full.
Enter TikTok users and K-pop fans, who started their own campaign, registering for tickets to the Trump rally with obviously no intention of going. This is why, in part, the Trump campaign bragged 1 million people had registered.
AOC was beside herself, saying … “you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID. Shout out to Zoomers. Y’all make me so proud.”

TikTok … where some campaigns happen, and some don’t.
