And who tried to claim otherwise? CNN showed us the crowd covering the mall.
And that’s why the Founding Fathers made inauguration celebration turn out numbers a critical part of our....
Um...sorry...forget it.
“The Black Lives Matter protesters at first started chaining themselves to fences in...”
Oh the irony.
Personally, I was very concerned about Trumps safety. If the crowds were more carefully screened then I'm good with that....but...the media should have reported that honestly.
They showed the huge crowd live several times during the inauguration. There was never any doubt it was a huge crowd on par with Obama’s inauguration, never mind who was bigger.
CNN has become so petty and vile that they have to try to pretend Trump could not attract a large crowd for his inauguration. This after the huge crowds he got for his campaign rallies while Hillary spoke to a scattered few at her rallies.
CNN did the same thing with the original tea party rallies which were huge, but they would show a tiny piece of them, then massively under report the size. Fox News would show the entire size of the tea party rally and they were always impressively large.
CNN is treading water and going down for the 3rd time. I can’t wait until they drown. Only die hard Marxists and homo freaks watch CNN anymore.
How many stayed away after weeks of thuggish threats from the left to disrupt and create chaos on inauguration day?
And how many were unable, or gave up getting to the main venues due to the leftist protestors, or the security necessary to contain them?
Any news outlet discussing inauguration attendance numbers without mentioning these factors is engaging in fake news.
That NPS camera used for all the shots of the mall showing crowd size is static, appears to me to be located on the Washington Monument from the vantage point. Many photos going back years. I suspect it’s not as if there is only one photo to argue about. I suspect there are a series of them. From the video of the inauguration, I see the mall filled. The photo being bandied about looks to be either early or late.
Either way, it doesn’t have to be a mystery. Pretty sure there are photos taken periodically throughout the day, maybe hour by hour. Lay it to rest. Why is the NPS being so silent? Well, I know the answer but the question needs to be asked and answered in a highly public manner.’
Maybe somebody high profile can tweet about it, lol.
I just don’t care about crowd sizes. The people who sent Trump to the White House live far away from Washington DC and probably spent Friday at work, as I did here in Florida.
Sean Spicer should get out the googlepix when he talks about this. Also..he needs a smaller podium built for him. He is dwarfed by the current one.
CNN is just following Stalin’s example of revisionist history by altering photos. Ironic this is the 100th anniversary of the Bolsheviks overthrowing a legally elected government starting with mob protests in the street.
What’s funny is that even CNN ran with the fake news story, despite their own “Gigapixel” image showing a vastly different crowd than the “official” comparison image did.
I found it refreshing that the Trump press team got out yesterday and corrected this and two other lies yesterday, and then refused to take any questions. :)
If the pic at cnn, which i have copies, was taken at 11:30, i was there sitting between gates 2 and 3 and there are 4 gates two at the end where the GW monument was and two more on the south side smithsonian side that easily had 4 thousand people trying to get past security. very slow moving line.
