Original Note:
OP contains a factually inaccurate claim from former President Trump. The congressional Jan. 6 committee pegged Trump’s crowd at 53,000 people, about one-fifth of the 250,000 who were estimated to be at King’s famous address from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna165894 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/politics/trump-jan-6-mlk-crowds.html https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-january-6-martin-luther-king-dream-speech-2024-8
