He posted after the event: \u201c763 people in McAllen, TX last night!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, photos and videos shared by his campaign did not align with that boast, as several empty seats and ample standing room were visible.<\/p>\n<p>The venue\u2019s website states that it offers five event spaces with a combined capacity of 414 people. Paxton\u2019s campaign appeared to have rented out the largest one, the patio, which can only accommodate 150 guests. <\/p>\n<p>Local news site MyRGV.com reported that Paxton\u2019s rally \u201cdrew a modest audience, topping off at 100 attendees.\u201d The crowd was described as \u201cpredominantly older, with a few youthful exceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Democrats immediately seized on the discrepancy.<\/p>\n<p>JT Ennis, a spokesman for Paxton\u2019s Democratic opponent, James Talarico, cited the MyRGV report while taking a swipe at the opposing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Texas news outlet calls out Ken Paxton for lying about crowd size at his recent rally,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKen Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America and a pathological liar, and apparently that extends to describing his crowd size, too,\u201d Texas Democratic Party spokesperson Ryan Martin said in a statement. \u201cA very Low-T move by the Paxton campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3768\">Disney World Guest, 54, Dies After Medical Emergency on Iconic Ride<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Social media users also piled on Paxton, with one writing, \u201cFollowing in the Orange man\u2019s footsteps in many ways, including lying about crowd size.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMAGA has always been bad at counting,\u201d another wrote. \u201cThe room holds 200.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPAXTON DOES MAGAT MATH JUST LIKE HIS ORANGE SAVIOR!\u201d a third said.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton\u2019s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, himself known for his obsession with crowd sizes and inflating headcounts, shook the heated Texas Senate race when he endorsed Paxton over the incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER!\u201d the president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post in May. \u201cKen is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The endorsement swiftly set off panic within the Republican Party while igniting hope among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen.

Susan Collins, of Maine, described Paxton as \u201can ethically challenged individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Attorney General has battled a litany of controversies, from a messy divorce, an alleged affair, and a federal securities fraud investigation that was closed down last year after authorities declined to prosecute him.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>None of that has cost him Trump\u2019s support.
