Tulsa, Oklahoma (CNN) Just fewer than 6,200 people attended President Donald Trump 's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma , the Tulsa Fire Department said Sunday -- a figure Trump's reelection campaign is disputing as it also seeks to blame "radical" protesters and the media for it's smaller-than-expected crowd size. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh disputed the department's count Sunday, saying, "12,000 people went through the metal detectors so that number is way off." The Trump campaign has tried to blame "radical" protesters, even saying some were allegedly blocking metal detectors, for frightening some of the President's supporters from attending Trump's return to the campaign trail in Tulsa on Saturday. Late Saturday night, a Secret Service spokesman told CNN in a statement that an entrance to the Tulsa rally was temporarily closed and later reopened allowing people to enter. A crowd of dozens of anti-Trump protesters were demonstrating at the location, and an equally large gathering of Trump supporters watched and sometimes verbally engaged them.
