The women’s march in Washington, D.C. on Saturday drew triple the number of people who attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration the day before, according to crowd experts Marcel Altenburg and Keith Still from Metropolitan University in the U.K. They estimate that, based on available photos and videos, around 160,000 people were on the National Mall during the inauguration. Altenburg and Still added that the women’s march drew 470,000 people on the Mall. Trump falsely said on Saturday that more than a million people showed up to the inauguration and that the crowd stretched all the way back to the Washington Monument. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer bashed the media for its reporting on the crowd size, saying falsely that “this was the largest audience to ever witness the inauguration period both in person and around the globe.”
