has been an incredibly successful i was very well received by this great country. for more, i m joined by zerlina maxwell, director of progressive programming for sirius xm, and john. i have to go with zerlina because you were laughing. this reminds me of his crowd size estimates after the election, saying mine was bigger than his. he s doing a great job in his own mind, but america on tuesday told us that they do not like the direction of the country. that matches the exit polling data, and right direction, wrong track. but also, i think what it showed is women who came out the day after trump was sworn in, a million of us, took to the streets and said we reject this. and what this means. particularly after the access hollywood tape. now we have 100 women in the house. i have to go back to you for the question. this battle of who won, who lost, it s clear the president lost in the house, 35 to 40
charlottesville, but also it has tones of racism. there s a statue of confederate general robert e. lee over what was for a long time known as lee park. a month ago it was renamed by a vote of the city council to emancipation park. and that s where the heart of the controversy lies and that s where the largest protest in charlottesville is happening before our eyes. so while this discussion and debate is not unique to charlottesville, this has become a hotbed of discussion here in particular for several reasons. now what makes today different for two other rallies that the city of charlottesville has seen that this summer is the sheer number of demonstrators expected today. police are saying anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 people could turn out. any crowd size estimates. but also the number of different white nationalists and white supremicist groups who are gathering today in previous demonstrations you would see far more counterprotesters, there
he was the one who said it was it disgraceful. and compared it to nazi germany. and then he said that this was the biggest audience to ever attend that is also not true. the president of the united states yesterday stood on hollow ground in front of a memorial wall of fallen cia officers. he looked at the american people and lied. he lied about something of substance. and he lied about the most trivial of things he could lie about crowd sizes. we talk about the spicer piece. they shut down the national park services communication because they tweeted out the crowd size estimates. this should be of concern to everybody not just to the press but to everybody if people he are already feeling a lack of trust in our
saying oh, that s terrible. but you know, it s a way of bypassing dishonest media, right? and speaking of the president s use of social media, we should point out that representatives from the new trump administration have sent instructions to the department of interior, to stop tweeting themselves, jake. that appears to be in response to the national park service yesterday retweeting a new york times reporter s tweet showing images side by side of barack obama s inaugural crowd in 2009 and the crowd that was on hand yesterday. the national park service deleted that retweet of that new york times reporter and posted this tweet, saying we regret the mistaken rts from our account and continue to share the beauty and history of our parks with you. jake, that s another sign right there, that they are very much concerned about these crowd size estimates and pictures and tweets that have been out there for the last 24 hours. and it really cuts to one of the core insecurities of this ne
inaugural in 1973, tens of thousands protested at the lincoln memorial. in february of 2003 we saw between 10 and 15 million people march in 600 cities around the world to protest the iraq war. we can now add the 2017 march for women, the women s march, to that list of historic demonstrations. according to march organizers, more than 4 million people around the world took to the streets around saturday. an impressive and historic assertion of the fact that women s rights are human rights. but not to the new white house press secretary, sean spicer, who in one of the most bizarre appearances ever, at least in the united states, ignored the historic marches altogether. other than to try and compare the crowd size estimates for those marches to the accurate reporting of the low attendance numbers for friday s inauguration of donald trump. inaccurate numbers involving
