Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly boasted of the crowds his rallies attract.
We do a lot of these beautiful rallies, and it's so great," Trump said while speaking in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
"We never have an empty seat, never have. Look at it."
But the Republican nominee's claim was fact-checked in real time by reporters who shared videos from inside the Santander Arena, showing what appeared to be hundreds of empty seats in the venue during the former president's speech. Newsweek contacted the Trump campaign for comment via email.
Dana Milbank, a columnist for The Washington Post, shared videos and photos on X, formerly Twitter, that showed mostly empty sections of seats toward the back of the venue.
The arena has a capacity of up to 7,200 people for hockey games and up to 8,800 for concerts, according to its website.
Libbey Dean, a campaign reporter for NewsNation, also posted a video on X, writing that there were "a lot of open seats in the back."
