The Ugly Truth behind the Women’s March

The ABC carries a Reuters report that hypes an anti-Trump protest: 

Women have marched in hundreds of US cities to mark the second anniversary of the demonstrations that took place the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017…

They are aiming to mobilise women to vote ahead of the 2020 elections, when Mr Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.

But the ABC/Reuters fails to note the bleeding obvious – that the crowds were way, way down, as other outlets have conceded:

the third annual Women’s March events on Saturday attracted much smaller crowds than in years past.

That is putting it very gently indeed.

In 2017, between 500,000 and 1 million women reportedly marched in Washington alone. This year just 100,000, says AP, generously. The Washington Post suggests merely “thousands“.

In 2017, 400,000 reportedly marched in New York. This year just 25,000, say NY police, espite the drawcard of far-Left Democrat star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Why didn’t the ABC note this?

But the ABC did in passing note – in a single paragraph – one possible cause for the collapse in numbers:

In some cities, like New York and Washington, there were more than one march or demonstration due to criticism that some Women’s March leaders are anti-Semitic — a charge those leaders have sought to dispel in recent interviews and statements.
