Understandably, there’s a question about crowd size. The Washington Examiner columnist cited the Trump-friendly NY Post. Here’s what some not so Trump friendly media outlets reported. Basically the crowd was big, mostly local, and very diverse. Enjoy.

“CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes told viewers that there was "a bigger crowd than Democrats would like to see." She added that at some rallies, the Trump campaign brings people from other areas but many of the people she spoke to at the Bronx rally were locals.”

“MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire also said the crowd was around 7,000 people during a show.”

“In front of him was a more diverse crowd than is typical of his rallies, with many Black and Hispanic voters sporting bright red “Make America Great Again” hats and other Trump-themed apparel ordinarily scarce in deep-blue New York City. Still more people stood outside, waiting to get past security.
“But people at his Bronx rally said they had directly seen the impact on their neighborhoods of the surge of migrants, which has strained the municipal budget as the city provides housing and other social services.
Rafael Brito, a Queens resident who said he had come to the United States from the Dominican Republic, said he thought the migrant crisis had exacerbated crime and made it more difficult for his neighbors to get services they needed.
“The whole neighborhood has changed,” Mr. Brito, 51, said.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
