Kayleigh McEnany busted after boasting ‘More than one MILLION marchers’ showed up in DC for the MAGA rally
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was raked over the coals on Saturday afternoon after claiming on Twitter that “more than one million” Donald Trump supports showed up in the streets of Washington, DC, to support the president who lost to Vice President Joe Biden.
McEnany, who once declared she would never lie to the American public, wrote, “AMAZING! More than one MILLION marchers for President @realDonaldTrump descend on the swamp in support. Best base in political history — we LOVE you guys!!!”

Commenters on Twitter were quick to point that her numbers were not reality-based as you can see below:

It started with a @PressSec lying about crowd size and that’s how it will end. Also, did I hallucinate a press sec who never held a press conference?

If Kayleigh’s calculations are correct, the last Marlins game I saw had a paid attendance of 20 million https://t.co/uPwgMMGtr2 pic.twitter.com/3cdQ2xgKo6

Keyleigh – they EXPECTED more than a million people to show up. In reality, it was only 1-2 thousand, less than 0.2% of expected attendance

Math is hard, isn’t it Kayleigh? 2,500 is not more than a MILLION. Even in all caps!
