AceShowbiz - Donald Trump has raffled feathers with his recent statement. After the former president compared his January 6 crowd size to Martin Luther King Jr.'s, the latter's daughter, Bernice King, was quick to fire back at him.

When speaking at his Mar-a-Lago press conference on Thursday, August 8, the 78-year-old said, "I'll tell you, it's very hard to find a picture of that crowd." He added, "You see the picture - a small number of people, relatively, going to the Capitol, but you never see the picture of the crowd. The biggest crowd I've ever spoken - I've spoken to the biggest crowds. Nobody's spoken to crowds bigger than me."

Trump then told reporters to compare pictures of his crowd to those from MLK's speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. "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, same number of people. They said he had a million people, but I had 25,000 people," he claimed.

"But when you look at the exact same picture, and everything's the same because it was the fountains, the whole thing all the way back to… from Lincoln to Washington," he continued. "And you look at it, and you look at the picture of his crowd, my friend, we actually had more people."

Trump's speech didn't go unnoticed by MLK's daughter Bernice. Turning to X (formerly Twitter), she stressed, "Absolutely not true. I really wish people would stop using my father to support fallacy." Not stopping there, the lawyer and minister proved her tweet by sharing a photo of the turnout for her father's "I Have A Dream" speech.

Trump previously name-dropped MLK in June 2022. At the time, the politician told a Tennessee audience that his 2020 Fourth of July speech drew a larger crowd than the legendary activist.
