evidence: Trump compares Jan. 6 crowd size to MLK march "MLK's speech was about democracy. Trump's was about tearing it down," the NAACP said after Donald Trump compared the size of the Jan. 6, 2021 rally crowd to MLK's historic March on Washington. Former President Donald Trump has social media comparing photos and looking in history books after he claimed the crowd during his Jan. 6, 2021, "Stop the Steal" Rally was bigger than the estimated crowd of 250,000 who attended Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington. [...] The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) responded to Trump's claims on X, saying, "Donald Trump just said that he had a bigger crowd on January 6 than Dr. Martin Luther King did when he delivered 'I Have A Dream.' ...Not only is that completely false, but here’s what is more important: MLK’s speech was about democracy. Trump’s was about tearing it down."
