Emerging story
On November 14, 2020. a MAGA March on Washington, D.C. took place. White House Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted that there were “more than one MILLION marchers.”
The claim - as well as many disputing it - soon went viral.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that the claim is false. Local authorities estimate that there were at most around 10,000 attendees at the event, which was held in protest of the election results.
One America News Network, a pro-Trump right-wing news network that the President has not attacked on social media, unlike Fox News, said that “tens of thousands” attended the Million MAGA March.
Even this higher estimate is still much fewer than a million.
