"But we can say with certainty that his claims the crowd didn't exist are just false."He continued:"For starters, CNN was at the event and I've spoken to just one of the esteemed chief correspondent who was there. He told me that his team witnessed a crowd of many thousands that filled the large hanger where she was. There were two risers, the crowds spilled out onto a sprawling tarmac where Air Force Two and you see it there came to a stop to large risers." Watch below or click here.
