1. Rachel is wrong (big surprise). NYPD says 48,000.

5. I am not sure where she got the number, it was relayed to her

Surely she would have no impetus to use a bad estimate.

7. I've seen it expressed elsewhere on DU as 27K in the park and another 20K outside. n/t

11. Works for me

Rach said that they had closed the park off and were turning people away.

The pictures show many many people on the street there.

18. Got a link on the NYPD estimate? What I read was 11,500.

Sanders held a rally in Washington Square Park, which was closed all day Wednesday at the request of the Secret Service. 6,500 people were estimated to be in the park for the rally with an additional 5,000 supporters outside the park for a total of 11,500.

2. NYPD estimated 48,000

That's 8.7x bigger than Clinton's largest NYC rally.

3. Yeah, but only 10.8 times smaller than her smallest lie. nt

15. CGI work

The only people that showed up was 4-5 berniebros and a women that is going to burn in hell.

Bernie wasn't really born in New York City like Clinton was in spirit... Have we seen Bernie's long form birth certificate to prove it??!?!?!?

17. details, details

Nice photos, but didn't Bernie's handlers tell him that NYC is 29% AA and 35% Latino?

19. Rachel did not estimate the crowd at 27k, she just said the BS campaign issued that estimate.

Rachel explicitly said there was no police estimate yet.

However, I did read there was an estimate of 11,500:

Sanders held a rally in Washington Square Park, which was closed all day Wednesday at the request of the Secret Service. 6,500 people were estimated to be in the park for the rally with an additional 5,000 supporters outside the park for a total of 11,500.
