"I've spoken to the biggest crowds, nobody spoken to bigger crowds than me," he started. "If you look at Martin Luther King when he did his speech, his great speech, and you look at ours. Same real estate, same everything, the same number of people. If not, we had more."
"They said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people, but when you look at the exact same picture, everything's the same because it's the fountains, the whole thing, from Lincoln to Washington."
"If you look at it, my crowd and his crowd. We actually had more people," he continued. "They said I had 25,000, and he had a million people, and I'm okay with it because I liked Dr. Martin Luther King."
That clip is obviously going viral, so let's look at actual pictures of the Jan. 6 crowd vs. Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington crowd:
