Rep. Ted Lieu tried to turn a campaign stop into a punchline.
The California Democrat pointed to President Trump’s Saturday rally in an Ohio high school gym and treated the venue itself as proof the president is not that popular.
Want to know how popular trump is? He’s speaking in a high school gym in Ohio today.
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) October 4, 2026
The internet did not need long to check the room. The gym holds about 4,500 people. It filled up, and lines ran out of the building and onto the football field. Lieu’s jab landed.
The follow-up math landed harder especially once others started pulling out pictures of his own speeches where nobody really showed up at all.
@tedlieu You can’t fill the staff lounge. https://t.co/IqIy89hLea

Now, this is embarrassing.
There's this as well:
Want to know how popular Lieu is? He’s not speaking to anyone today because nobody wants to hear him speak.

Seriously, if we're basing popularity on one's ability to fill a room, Lieu is one of the most unpopular Democrats not only in California, but in the country.
I’m sorry, who are you?

If we're being fair, we doubt we'd know who Lieu is if we didn't spend so much time making fun of him and others.
Ouch-ville, population him.
