Pelosi, Schumer To Trump: "Let's Debate Border Funds in Private"
(02-12-2019, 01:38 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: looks like there was some size measurements going on last night.

Trump and Beto had competing immigration rallies in El Paso.

Trump lied to the crowd, saying that the Fire Dept fit 10,000 people into the 6,500 capacity venue (the Fire Dept later said they did not). He said 35,000 total people attended (including outside). Estimates vary for outside, but the Fire Dept said there "might have been 10,000" but they don't keep track of that.

Trump said Beto only had 200-300 attendees. Estimates put his rally at 7000-8000 on the low end to 10,000-15,000 according to Bloomberg (who said that was the police dept's number).

There was also clashing between the two groups outside, which could help cause confusion with counting.
