Fake News Alert: March For Our Lives Crowd Size 800,000

Fake News Alert: March For Our Lives Crowd Size 800,000
On Saturday, liberals took to the streets of Washington D.C. to take away American's Second Amendment rights. Anyone who believes these knuckleheads will stop at AR-15's is delusional. It will be AR-15's, then Rifles, then handguns, and then we will be Britain.

To try to push the narrative that America was behind them, The March for our lives organizers claimed that the total number of attendees was 800,000. This number was pulled right out their azz, because there is no evidence to back up this claim.

CBS (not a conservative site by any means) Reported

More than 200,000 people attended the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington D.C. on Saturday, according to Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc (DDIS). The Virginia-based firm uses a proprietary method for calculating crowd size using aerial photos.

Digital design estimated at 1 pm the march reached its peak crowd size at 202,796 people, with a margin of error of 15 percent, the firm said.

Most left-wing sites are pushing the narrative that the March For Our Lives crowd was larger than President Trump's inauguration crowd. This is a complete fabrication.

To compare the two events would be disingenuous. Each event had far different circumstances surrounding it, not to mention the weather was certainly different.
The True Crowd size
Let's debunk the fake news story that the March for Our Lives drew in a larger audience than Trump's inauguration. The "March for our lives" drew in an estimated 200,000 which is far fewer than Trump's 600,000 attendees.

Just to be clear, and to report facts rather than liberal fiction. Trump's 600,000 inauguration crowd was minuscule next to Obama's estimated attendance of 1.8 million.

A better comparison for "March For Our Lives" attendance would be The January 21, 2017, Women's March on Washington. While the anti-gun march drew in 200,000, it paled in comparison to the women's march.

DDIS reported the 2017 Women's March, had an estimated crowd size of 440,000 people, which ranks it as the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history.

Despite the facts, we can guarantee by next week fake news CNN, and MSNBC will have cemented into history that the "March For Our Lives" crowd was attended by 800,000.
