Dear AI: What was the largest Tea Party protest?
The largest Tea Party protest event was the Taxpayer March on Washington on September 12, 2009, where tens of thousands to over 200,000+ protesters gathered at the U.S. Capitol, with organizers claiming higher numbers. Earlier, on April 15, 2009, a nationwide, multi-city demonstration saw over 300,000 to over 500,000 total participants across 300+ cities.
Remember how we heard righties tell us about that huge turnout? Five hundred thousand Americans (some of them claimed a million) HAD SPOKEN, and such a large turnout obviously represented the true heart of America.
Saturday, an order of magnitude larger number of people turned out to protest (8 million+).
It’s fun to watch the same righties backpedal and minimize that much larger representation of American opinion.
