TikTok users, K-pop fans credited with helping to sabotage Trump rallyA supporter of US President Donald Trump shoots a video with his mobile phone from the sparsely filled upper decks of the BOK Center arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday. (Reuters photo)TikTok users and Korean pop music fans are being partly credited for inflating attendance expectations at a less-than-full arena at President Donald Trump's first political rally in months, held in Tulsa on Saturday. The Trump campaign said that the entry was 'first-come-first-served' and that no one was issued an actual ticket. Registering for a rally only means you’ve RSVPed with a cell phone number," said Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh in a statement to Reuters. CNN reported on Tuesday that a TikTok video posted by Mary Jo Laupp, a user who uses the hashtag #TikTokGrandma, was helping lead the charge.
