For the second time in a week, Donald Trump has reportedly left his supporters stranded in the cold after a Pennsylvania rally.
“Trump has finished and left, but there’s thousands of supporters who have been let loose into the night with no sign of the shuttles they’ve been told will take them back to parking,” CNN‘s DJ Judd tweeted on Saturday. “People are filling the street, blocking the road for ambulances and police.”
The Trump campaign fired back, calling the accusation “fake news.” Director of Communications of Trump’s campaign, Tim Murtaugh, denied the claim. He tweeted a picture of attendees boarding buses to be taken back to their cars.
Earlier last week, hundreds of attendees of a rally in Omaha, Nebraska, were stranded in freezing temperatures waiting for shuttle buses to take them back to their cars.
“Is there any place you would rather be than at a Trump rally on about a 10-degree evening?” Trump asked the crowd.
The wait for transportation lasted up to three hours for some. Others decided to forego the shuttles and make the two-and-a-half-mile walk back to their cars.
The Trump campaign blamed the crowd size and local road closures for delaying the shuttles meant to bring people back to the parking area.
People reported that, according to Omaha police, “there were 30 people contacted for medical reasons.” Seven people were transported to local hospitals following the event.
