Trump Claims Jan. 6 Crowd Rivaled the 1963 March on Washington. Estimates Say Otherwise.
Briefly

Former President Trump falsely claimed that the crowd gathered for his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, was comparable in size to the one that listened to Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in 1963.
Estimates reveal that Dr. King's speech drew approximately 250,000 people, while the House Select Committee estimated Mr. Trump's speech on Jan. 6, 2021, had an audience of 53,000 people.
