President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair, organized to celebrate America's 250th birthday, drew comparisons to the failed Fyre Festival due to poor attendance.
During her conversation with "CNN News Central," Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tia Mitchell shared her observations of Trump's festival.
"I went out there this week to check out Georgia's tent, check out the vibes," said Mitchell, before revealing a telling sign of the event's struggle: empty food lines despite extreme heat, an unusual occurrence at outdoor events.
The reporter attributed the low turnout to Trump's politicization of the celebration, especially after he created the competing Freedom 250 group, wresting control from the bipartisan, congressionally mandated America250 organization.
She also cited execution problems, including inadequate online information about schedules, entrances, and exits.
"And so I think what people are reading doesn't necessarily get them to come out," she argued.
