The New York Times has corrected an estimate they gave as to the size of the crowd at President Trump's rally in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday night.
The Hill reports after receiving sharp criticism from the president, The Times on Wednesday stated that attendance was more than five times larger than estimates it had originally reported.
The correction stated, “The fire marshal’s office estimated that approximately 5,500 people attended the rally, not about 1,000 people.”
The correction comes after the president railed against the Times on Twitter Wednesday morning, accusing the newspaper of intentionally underestimating the crowd size and of being comprised of "very dishonest" people who don't "get" him.
