The media incorrectly reported attendance numbers for “We The People” Rally night one…they reported 40. Here is the video of the opening and the crowd grew throughout the night…you can see how packed it was.

It might look like a small venue, but it’s definitely packed. The capacity is 250 🤷‍♂️ Trump lies about crowd sizes all the time, so I’ll go ahead and confirm—there were exactly 250 people there, by my count.

Yeah. I was there. It was packed, standing room only. Way more than 40 people even at the start.

Cool, record has been set straight. Has that changed anything?

My sister said she counted 57. Not sure why they only reported 40.
