Looky Here, the Big Lie Goes Next Level With Tickets To ‘Second Inauguration’

This is what happens when you tell a really Big Lie, it just keeps growing tentacles and then the tentacles keep growing tentacles. This was obtained via a Facebook post, which has since been marked private and so here’s the screenshot.

The thought that immediately crosses my mind is this: How can somebody who is stupid enough to believe this, be functional enough to have an extra $2,400 on hand for a pair of tickets to a fantasy event? Or, do the MAGAs go into retirement accounts for this, or what?

Snopes did a fact check:

This is not a genuine photograph of tickets to Trump’s inauguration. This is a doctored image that was created with a blank ticket template. Here’s a look at the fake image (left) and the original picture (right):

Trump lost his bid for reelection in November 2020. Though the former president continues to claim that the election was rigged (it wasn’t) by widespread voter fraud (also an evidence-free claim), and though many of his supporters have been led to believe that he will soon be reinstated is president, these claims are not based in reality. 

This picture appears to have been first posted to the internet message board 4chan on June 13. That posting appears to have been made as a joke to mock the idea that Trump would soon be reinstated to the presidency. It did not include an offer to sell and we have not seen anyone offering these nonexistent tickets for purchase (or anyone purchasing them) for $1,200. While it’s possible that a scam artist will offer them for sale, these faux tickets are for a fictional event. 

This is not the first time that fake tickets to Trump’s inauguration have circulated on social media. In November 2020, shortly after Trump lost reelection, an image started circulating online that supposedly showed an email from the Trump campaign offering inauguration tickets. As in the case above, this email was a fake email for a fake event. 

Who knows if any money has exchanged hands? Who knows if Ted Nugent and Kid Rock know anything about this? And for the truly cynical amongst us, who knows if Trump hasn’t tried to get involved with this, to get a piece of the gate? Just speculating. All I know for sure is, there is no low they won’t go.
