Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders chided President Trump for a tweet on Saturday that floated the idea of his supporters gathering for a rally that would be “the biggest of them all.”
Taking to Twitter, the president tweeted: “Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!”

About two hours later, Sanders, who himself was no stranger to large rallies during the presidential primary, tweeted back: “They did. It wasn’t.” The tweet also features images which seem to be from the National Park Service, via EarthCam, comparing Trump’s inauguration crowd size to that of the Women’s March on Washington.
Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!

Trump blamed the media for underreporting the size of his inauguration crowd on Jan. 20, which one week later was compared to the size of the Women’s March on Washington. Organizers estimate about 500,000 people attended the march in D.C., while over a million participated in similar marches across the world.
