Crowded in Liz Warren’s head: NYC says she told whopper about crowd size
September 19, 2019 | Frieda Powers

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign seems to be having a problem with numbers.

It seems truthfully counting crowd sizes has become a challenge for the Massachusetts Democrat as her campaign inflated attendance numbers again this week.

Monday’s rally in New York City’s Washington Square Park was touted as Warren’s largest to date. Her campaign, estimating that 20,000 people showed up, told The Hill that they stopped counting once the 2020 hopeful began her speech.

But New York City Parks was not able to back up those claims and said the event was approved for only half of that attendance size.

Crystal Howard, NYC Parks’ Assistant Commissioner for Communications, told Breitbart News that the park’s capacity is 10,000 people and the rally was given a permit for 8,000 to 10,000 to attend Monday’s event. The spokeswoman added that NYC Parks “can’t corroborate the campaign’s count.”
