It's not a lie. The Federal Gov't told us how many ppl were there and it was the lowest turnout since Nixon.
Where did they do that? I thought it was against policy for them to estimate crowd size.

CNN. Fake news.
ETA: Am I doing that right yet?
According to figures shared by the Metro Washington subway system on Twitter, 193,000 trips had been taken by 11am on Donald Trump’s inauguration day, compared with 513,000 during the same period on 20 January 2009 when Barack Obama took office.
Spicer attempted to bolster his argument by giving whole-day ridership figures for the Metro of 420,000 on Trump’s inaugural day.
However, for comparison he used a figure of 317,000 which was the ridership figure only up to 11am on the inaugural day of 2013 – when Barack Obama had already been in office four years and attendance was, perhaps unsurprisingly, lower than for his first inauguration.
