Claim:
Roger Stone tweeted a photo claiming a large crowd at a beach was gathered for a Donald Trump rally in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Reasoning:
The photo shared by Roger Stone does not depict Trump’s rally but actually shows a 1994 concert in Brazil. A reverse image search identifies the image as originating from Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. The crowd is most commonly attributed to a December 31, 1994, Rod Stewart performance, which holds the record for the largest concert crowd in history according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Stone later acknowledged that the image was of an unrelated event.
Fact or Fiction?
Fiction. The image’s origin and the context of the claim do not support the assertion that the photo depicts a crowd at a Donald Trump rally in New Jersey.
