Spicer maintains Trump inauguration had biggest audience in history

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is sticking to his assertion that President Trump had the largest inauguration audience in history.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Spicer acknowledged that his assertion that Trump's inauguration was the largest in history was misleading.

But he argued that, in terms of the "total population that watched it," the real estate mogul garnered the most attention.

"If you look at the statement that I actually made - and I will admit that we should have made it clearer - we should have focused on total audience size and not let people believe that we were talking about the Mall itself, I will concede that," he told the Post.

Stop trying to tell us that our eyes are lying and you are telling the truth. We are not as stupid as your idiot supporters.
