Yeah they are lying their @sses off. 

This is the biggest photo from your link I could get from the crowd size.  It is always a zoomed in photo of her and never a zoomed out pitcute to see the "15k".  I actually did see a video of this event the other day, and I would say it looked to be about 500 people.

Did Fleetwood Mac hold a reunion concert on stage just before the fake Indian spoke?

Big time. If you are going to stand in line and wait hours to see a candidate, you will vote. Now what is frustrating with warren is she has had it easy in the debates so far.

Don’t be a conspiracy theorist, damn it. There were way more than 60 people there; several thousand, if not necessarily 15,000. I know the area, and it would be hard to get fifteen thousand people in there, but it was several thousand at least, probably not more than 7 or 8 thousand, but it was a decent crowd.

You couldn’t have seen a photo of this event “the other day,” because it happened today. I saw a shot on another website from a wider angle, and there were at least several thousand people there. Maybe not 15,000, which would be hard to cram into that area. (I’ve been there many times, and there’s a very large water fountain right in the middle of it.)

Very interesting that in a Seattle rally, you’re seeing all these “Minnesota for Warren” posters. Typical Dem BS.

All rich White Democrats. Funny how that is........Warren doesn’t attract any people of color. Could be her faking who she was for so many years

Of course Democrats can agree to do something wrong, but there are photographs of Warren’s rally which show several thousand people. I can’t stand her, but I also appreciate FACTS.

No crowd shown.

Seattle Times makes no mention of crowd size by their own estimate:
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/elizabeth-warren-tells-crowd-of-15000-in-seattle-nobody-gets-to-stay-on-the-sidelines/

I smell BS.

Seattle Times mentions only the following in regards to crowd size:

"Warren, who’s known for her two-dozen or so detailed policy plans to address specific issues, spoke on a broader level to a crowd that her staff estimated at 15,000."

" The crowd size, she said, was evidence that “people are ready for change in Washington."

If the crowd size were truly more than 10,000. I would expect the Seattle Times to go all in with it and blast it for days. But they stayed mum which makes me think her actual numbers were maybe 1200 - 1500. And Seattle Center, this is key, has on a sunny summer weekend day anywhere from 2000-3000 on average. So the crowd just sort of meandered over to where she was ranting.

Believe me, I live here, most every person here is NOT going to show up for Elizabeth Warren. There are so many other things to do. And the attendee comments in the Seattle Times above point to that precisely. Here's an example:

“The only thing I am worried about is she might get stuck in the weeds,” said Matthies, a Lynnwood resident. “A president needs to think about the big picture.”

And here's another:

Charlie Lapham, who works for the Martin Luther King County Labor Council, likes Warren but is undecided.

“Electability is important,” he said. “I want to see if she can make a connection with people.”

And those are the only two liberal like comments that the Seattle Times reports. If there was a groundswell of enthusiastic passionate supporters, this newspaper would have run for at least three pages with the news.

Let's hope Warren is the Democrat nominee. She is not charismatic, not attractive, not inspiring, not smart, not commanding, in sum, a great candidate to lose the election by a landslide.

Just Google it yourself, like I did: something like “Warren Seattle rally.”
