Trump Rolls Out Bonkers Harris Plane Conspiracy—but Photographer Disproves It

“It was a large crowd,” the Getty Images photographer tells The Daily Beast, adding that the pictures he took clearly “speak to that.”

Former President Donald Trump continued his obsession with crowd size on Sunday, claiming photos that showed a large crowd outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Detroit rally last week were AI-generated. But one photographer who was in attendance confirmed to the Daily Beast that the images his camera captured were very real.

    All the way through 2018 Hillary had very poor favorability ratings. [1] It’s hard to find like-for-like favorability measurements made recently, but according to YouGov she does seem to have slightly rebounded over the past couple of years.[2]

    The subject of Clinton hate is enough of a topic that multiple books have been written on it, both in defense of Clinton and in prosecution.[3]

      Thanks!

      I’m kinda wondering about their claim regarding 2016. On that first link if we look at the breakdown with just Dems she was like 75-90 around November. IDK if 75 disastrously low for a Dem candidate?

      I’m still dubious at the idea that everyone hates her and always has. And of course still dubious that voters hate Hillary Clinton so much having her speak on one’s behalf would cost their support.

        I can see it. It’s the young voters: the ones currently driving the Harris wave. They don’t like the old, they had no interest in Biden and were old enough to absorb anti-Hillary sentiment through osmosis during 2016. The campaign now is new, feels fresh and hip. For once they have a candidate they can relate to. And what do they see when they tune into the DNC - which should be a hypefest? Stuffy old establishment Dems, including much-maligned Hillary. That to me sounds like a great way to take some wind out of the sails of the campaign.
