Remember when in his first press conference, Sean Spicer literally yelled that Trump had the biggest crowd ever? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m somewhere in the foreground of the left picture. It was nuts. They had us in pens, shoulders pressed to other people. The weather was very cold, but in that pen it was warm. We were packed so tightly, the crowd swayed and you had no choice how your body moved with the crowd. A guy had a medical emergency, and it took massive effort to get him out of the crowd. But everyone was calm and generally in a good mood.

The crowd was clearly present because Obama was the first black president. That was the thing on everyone’s lips. It was the major theme of the day in the news. The posters and tshirts for sale were of that theme.

When Obama was sworn in, there were a lot of shouts for joy and crying. It was one of the most electric crowds I’ve ever experienced.

What that picture doesn’t show is the hundreds of thousands of people on the streets to the left and to the right of the picture. Security was tight. There were a lot of fences. All the metro stops within a mile or so were closed. We walked probably three miles from the mall to a metro stop, and waited hours to get on a metro train.

“Our press secretary, Sean Spicer, gave alternative facts to that, but the point remains that...”

The beginning of the end of integrity within the Republican Party.
