Trump Claims Jan 6 Crowd Bigger Than MLK's
News summary

Former President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that the crowd at his January 6, 2021, 'Stop the Steal' rally was larger than the audience for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic 'I Have a Dream' speech. Trump asserted that both events drew comparable numbers, despite historical records indicating that MLK's speech attracted approximately 250,000 people, whereas Trump's rally had about 10,000 attendees. This claim was part of a broader press conference where Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for the substantial crowds she has been drawing during her campaign appearances. Trump's statements have been widely debunked and ridiculed, including by media commentators and fact-checkers.
