Bull manure. Trump is the one with the huge crowds. He is confusing everything with Hillary.
It’s great to know what kind of articles they’re going to be writing about Trump’s second term now, so we can stay ahead of the game.
Oh please, who gives a d@mn besides the druggies at Mother Jones?
Mother Jones, really? MOTHER JONES???? Suddenly Mother Jones is objective? Screw that mother, her children, nieces and nephews. Even if her life depended on it, the mother is incapable of looking at the world objectively. Nonsense.
Really? Crowd count collusion?
Thats crap, I saw the raw photos, the ones showing a sparse crowd were taken HOURS before the inauguration, the ones during the inauguration shows the massive crowd. I saw uncropped photos... what a load of horsedung.
Like Sean Spicer said, when you include TV ratings and internet traffic, Trump’s inauguration was watched by the most people ever. Period.
They are really desperate if they are back to this one.
What did they expect the photographer to do? Get shots only showing a small area on the outskirts of the crowd? Democrats are blockheads. Butt hurt Democrat jackassery once again.
Spicer was and still is correct. It was “the largest audience”.
The photo is immaterial. And hides the reality that a lot of people that supported candidate Trump felt safer in their own homes or at local celebrations than in downtown DC for the inauguration, after how they were treated coming out of rallies by their fellow man. But Mother Jones won’t write any articles about that. We’re supposed to pretend voter intimidation didn’t happen and isn’t continuing to happen. Let’s look at photos instead.
Why and/or who felt the need to write about this a year and a half after the event? TDS. Get over it. (Not you vannrox- the author).
The Leftist Tools are just coming out with this blockbuster?
meh
Mother Jones
An NPS communications official, whose name was redacted in the released files, told investigators that Reynolds called her after speaking with the president and said Trump wanted pictures from the inauguration. She said “she got the impression that President Trump wanted to see pictures that appeared to depict more spectators in the crowd”, and that the images released so far showed “a lot of empty areas”. The communications official said she “assumed” the photographs Trump was requesting “needed to be cropped”, but that Reynolds did not ask for this specifically. She then contacted the NPS photographer who had covered the event the day before. . .The NPS photographer, whose name was also redacted, told investigators he was contacted by an unidentified official who asked for “any photographs that showed the inauguration crowd sizes”. Having filed 25 photographs on inauguration day, he was asked to go back to his office and “edit a few more” for a second submission.
Moreover, if you compare the actual photos streamed live from the inauguration (I saved them at the time, from multiple sources, because I was engaged in a debate over this) with those the media released, it's clear the media was portraying photos from when the crowds were still arriving as if they represented full peak attendance. Trump quite rightly asked for accurate photos rather than the misleading ones the media was posting. This new nonsense is trying to make it sound like he was asking for photos to be edited, when there is no evidence he made such a request. This is a revival of the original psyop the media was pulling at the time of the inauguration.
Because Mother Jones is an important outlet of truth...
They should change the Masthead to “Mother F*****g Liars” ...
That would be the only “truth” to ever find it’s way into that commie rag
The real telling feature is what the grounds looked like AFTER the Obama and Trump inaugurations. After Obama’s the grounds were calf-deep in trash.
Are you visiting from DU?
BS! I was at Trumps inaguration, it was absolutely packed.
