White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer stood by his false claim that President Donald Trump’s inauguration the most-watched ceremony ever during his first official press briefing on Monday. “It was the most-watched inaugural,” Spicer told reporters. After repeated pressing from reporters, Spicer said that he never meant to say that the in-person crowd at the inauguration was the largest of all time, but stood by his assertion that the ceremony’s overall audience, including television and online was the most-watched ever. “It was the total largest audience witnessed in person and around the globe,” he said. Photos juxtaposing the crowds at Trump’s inauguration with Barack Obama’s 2009 swearing-in ceremony clearly showed that Trump’s audience was not as large as he claimed it to be.
