Trump’s Press Sec. Just Said The Inauguration Was The Biggest Ever. Twitter’s Response Is HILARIOUS
At the conclusion of the most surreal remarks ever given by an American president to the Central Intelligence Agency, Donald Trump’s Press Secretary Minister of Propaganda held a press conference in which he too attempted to convince the American people that the crowds at Trump’s inauguration were in fact the biggest bestestest crowds ever seen, called out the media as liars, and bent over backwards in his outrageous attempt to gaslight the American people into disbelieving their own lying eyes.
“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period“ said Spicer, which couldn’t be further from the truth. As CNN noted with a proverbial eye-roll, “Aerial photos have indicated that former president Barack Obama’s first inauguration attracted a much larger crowd. Nielsen ratings show that Obama also had a bigger television audience.”
Twitter immediately began savaging the sycophantic yes-man for his ridiculous assertions, and the results are hilarious:

I work in political PR. I spin all the time. What Sean Spicer did today was Soviet-style propaganda mixed with lugenpresse Nazi tactics.

According to Sean Spicer, most of the people in Trump's inaugural crowd were cleverly disguised as bleachers. #Gaslight

Sean Spicer lacks the guts or integrity to refuse orders to go out and lie. He is a failure in this job on his first full day.
