“We know that 420,000 people used the D.C. Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama’s last inaugural.”
False. 783,000 trips for Obama in 2013 and 571,000 for Trump in 2017.
“This was also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the Mall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the Mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.”
False. The secret service said this was true.
“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.”
False. Nielsen ratings were 30.6 million for Trump and 37.8 million for Obama. No global figures were available to anyone including Spicer.
