May 14 2024, Published 2:53 p.m. ET
Eric Trump was called out for claiming 100,000 people came to his father Donald Trump's rally in New Jersey on May 11.
“They wanna take my father down in New York. They wanna do it civilly, they wanna do it criminally, they wanna do it in Georgia, they want to try to do it in Washington, D.C.," Eric, 40, said on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle.
“They go to the farthest-left areas of this country, they have radical prosecutors all with one thing in common, they’re all funded by Soros, every single one, and they have a d--- mission to go after Donald Trump because he’s winning in every single poll," he continued.
Eric then pointed out how his father's rally brought in a lot of people. “When you see Wildwood on Saturday, where he has 100,000 people show up. 100,000 people. I mean, Bruce Springsteen can’t pull half of that amount!” he boasted.
Donald Trump attended a rally in New Jersey on May 11.
But people thought Eric's comments were absurd. One person wrote, “Bruce Springsteen played in front of a crowd of 300,000 in East Berlin in 1988," while another said, “LOL! There were NOT 100K people at Trump's NJ rally! Maybe 15K!"
A third person added, “There weren't 100K people there. Stop. Lying."
Donald Trump also claimed there were 100,000 people at his recent rally.
As OK! previously reported, Donald, 77, was previously slammed for stretching the truth after claiming he spoke to a ton of people over the weekend.
"I think we’re leading in New Jersey. We had a rally, over 100,000 people," he said in a recent interview. "A lot of the mainstream media didn’t want to say how many people."
