evidence: The House select committee that investigated the events of Jan. 6, 2021, estimated 53,000 people attended President Donald Trump’s speech at the White House Ellipse. [...] Describing his speech to supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump said he spoke to the "same number of people, if not, we had more" than King’s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. The crowd-size comparison is wrong. Credible estimates say many more people attended the 1963 March on Washington during King’s speech than attended Trump’s Ellipse speech.
