Bernie Sanders holds big rally in Washington Square Park [View all]

Link

Sanders held a rally in Washington Square Park, which was closed all day Wednesday at the request of the Secret Service. 6,500 people were estimated to be in the park for the rally with an additional 5,000 supporters outside the park for a total of 11,500.

Where were the other 15,500? Were they hiding in the trees?

Isn't it strange that the media are going with Sanders math rather than what the NYPD estimated? BlueCaliDem Apr 2016 #6
