One of the speakers at the event said ~ 1:30 – 1:45 p.m. that 1.5 million people had been counted via ABC. That’s from ABC of all affiliates.
There were more people still streaming in after that time.
More than 2 million, I don’t know. Union Station, Metro trains were as crowded as I’ve ever experienced. More than any work day into the city I’ve experienced.
I tried schmoozing a D.C. police officer, one of whom who was watching over the blockaded Capitol steps, to use my camera to take a pic toward the monument. Showing how awesome the turnout was. Alas he wasn’t allowed to.
