Trump does.
Give us the source for Trump's alleged lies.
The conference was broadcast on live TV you can watch the recording here:
https://youtu.be/r2ewy0uNmgQSpicer says a number of things in that press conference:
He says this was the first time in history that they used white floor coverings to protect the grass which highlighted empty spaces.
This is false as they used white floor coverings in 2013. He is also clearly talking about physical crowds here.
He says that there were 420,000 that used the Metro, more than Obama's 317,000.
This is wildly false, the Metro released numbers that are completely different. The agency said that Metro usage was the lowest in at least two presidential inaugurations.
He said that the photograph posted on Twitter showing the crowd size was deliberately misleading.
It was just a photograph from the same aerial view shot shortly before noon in Obama's and Trump's events respectively. So he is disputing the legitimacy of the photograph with no alternative evidence to show it has been doctored.
He says that "this was the largest audience to witness and inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe".
This is just false, and also shows how Spicer now saying that he didn't mean the physical crowds is also false.
How can anyone not accept that Trump's team has been lying here? There has been much worse lying and mieading going on that with the establishment Trump is supposed to be wiping away. Why didn't he just say "yeah the crowds weren't as big as in the past, who cares?"
He was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, a straight talking man that won't deceive people.
Does this not worry Trump supporters? How about his attitude of continuing petty fights with the media rather than focusing on running the country?
Trump also said to the CIA he thought there was a million and a half people at his inauguration.
He also told the CIA that the media was making it look like he disliked the intelligence community, but he tweeted negative things about them from his own Twitter account.
