I don't know... Spicer also included televised watchers in his numbers... no data about that has been released... The crowd at the inauguration was definitely smaller 1/2 to 1/3 the size of Obama's largest crowd... but as liberals said about Hillary's small rallies, crowd size doesn't matter...
It doesn't - except to the President, evidently. Obviously he is self-conscious about his victory, that's the root of these statements as well as the newly-announced, and horribly misguided, investigation into the "millions" of illegal votes.
How much taxpayer money will be wasted on this newest of Trump's vanity projects?
To be honest, I can careless about this. It's basically a "my penis is bigger than Obama's" match and I don't even know why this was even a news story.
With that being said, it's obvious mainstream media lied about that one, and I'm not even a Trump supporter. Looking at that CNN 360 cam that pans into the crowd kinda debunks that entire theory. During the actual inauguration, you could clearly see people all the way back almost to the Washington Monument. The pic they used was from 8:30 am, not at noon.
The crowd wasn't as big as 2009 Obama, but duh...that was the first black President ever on MLK day for an extremely popular President. But...to say that Trump's crowd was small is laughable.
Also, they have to factor in all of the protesters who were literally blocking people from going to the inauguration (there are several videos of this on YouTube)
Crowd size is unimportant and can be effected by many things. Look how much time media has spent talking about something no one really cares about. It shows a weakness in the media that is obsessed in making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I agree with this. Spicer read his exact quote back to a reporter, who chose to continue to harp on this on Tuesday, which was that he was referring to both people physically at the inauguration, and people viewing on TV and online.
The point is that this is minutiae, yet more important things are ignored. The next thing they'll be harping on is Trumps tax returns. Nobody who voted for him cares about this either. We just want to see if Trump makes positive changes in the country, and we don't really care if it ruffles some feathers.
Does anybody here want to put their (on-line) name out there agreeing that Trump's crowd for inauguration was larger than Obama's or the women's march? Does anybody really believe this "alternative fact"?
Economy stagnant. Never ending wars in the Middle East. Crowd sizes is a close 3rd.

Seriously? It matters to Mango von Twitler.
If it did not, he'd have shut up about it and not forced poor Spicer to go out and LIE about it.
More viewers on the Internet???
Come on. Who is tracking that and are they sure that a window didn't insta-open while someone was reading a news story? Happened to me twice reading political stories on 1/20 and I didn't wait to watch that bloviating crap-bag take the oath of office.

Yes, one crowd is being referenced. Duh. He is stating that it was the largest by two different measurements. #1 In person. #2 Around the globe. He is asserting it was the largest with regards to each metric! It is possible to refer to a single thing and measure it more than one way, yes?
What he said was very clear. It was the largest crowd to watch an inauguration in person and on TV/the internet. Inserting "both" ("both in person and on the TV/internet") doesn't change the meaning of what he said.

Latest figures I've seen: 30 million TV viewers and 16 million live streams on the internet.
46 million people, not even counting the people there in person.
So Trump had the largest audience of any inauguration ever.
And when you consider the fact that the lying liberal media used an aerial photo that was taken hours before Trump took the oath and pretended that that was the entire crowd that watched him take the oath in person, Trump had good reason to call them out on it.
Especially since they had also lied about the bust of MLK being removed from the oval office.

I didn't hate it either. I hated what was being done to it by Obama and the Democrats -- trying to turn it into a Third World hell hole.

Ah, the race card. How predictable.
There are plenty of black conservative presidents who don't hate America and white people that I would have been happy with.

Spicer didn't lie.
All the lies have come from the anti-Trumps.
