No President has ever had BIGGER empty spaces in his audience!"Well, that took about as much time as I thought. Yesterday White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer accused the news media of falsely reporting the size of the Inauguration crowds and basically threatened them for not following the official Trump party line on the turnout. Literally. "We're going to hold the press accountable" is the word-for-word quote.
Countdown to denial of photographic evidence begins in 5... 4...
Fortunately, the ACLU is basically saying, "bring it on" in response.
As long as we're holding people accountable...
Over the weekend, CBC News radio was reporting that Trump claimed one million to one-and-a-half million people attended the inauguration ceremony.
Today, CBC News radio reported that The Mall has a maximum capacity of a half-million.
Somebody needs to check a few facts here.
