TPUSA Pins Liberal Tactics on Sparse JD Vance Crowd in Athens
TL;DR
Turning Point USA blamed liberal groups for the sparse JD Vance event in Athens, noting about 2,000 attendees out of roughly 10,000 free tickets and a venue that could fit about 4,000 once the stage was set. Erika Kirk did not appear due to security concerns, while Vance spoke with TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet. The turnout drew mockery from Morning Joe and online critics, but the Secret Service said there was no credible threat.
