The Orange turd will claim the 22k marchers were actually headed to his rally, so he will claim 30k plus supporters.

But, I guess he did have something to do with it if opposition to him is what inspired those women to run, and these protesters to march.

The voters were as enthusiastic in their support for these fantastic candidates because they were voting against the tangerine tyrant and the KGOP who enable the raging toddler.

Plus overflow, so being generous 10k racists in close proximity.


To the march for truths 15k, per local police.

It's BIGLY! It's the largest crowd ever assembled in the history of mankind!

So many people showed up, they actually expanded into several neighbouring states, because Texas couldn't hold them all!

How big is it? It's bigger than all cattle!

People came from as far away as Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia!

In his wildest dreams, Obama never saw a crowd this big, this massive, this in-your-face supportive of the greatest president who ever lived!


(NOTE: The above is based not on fact, but on the tweets anticipated within the next 24 hours, which will be supported by FOX-News coverage.)

I saw the 20K figure from MoveOn.org. But 15K is still WAY bigger than trump's turnout, at 65-hundred.

El Paso Fire Department just told us that Trump's statement about them allowing 10,000 people inside is incorrect. Spokesman says coliseum holds 6,500 and that is how many were allowed in building

The "mainstream" coverage of Beto I saw was a live shot of Beto in the background while talking heads talked 2020. I flipped around and saw No One covering the counter rally live.
