BURSTSen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday mocked President Trump over the crowd size at an event in Michigan celebrating his first 100 days in office the day prior.
“Congratulations to President Trump for drawing 4,000 people last night to a rally Warren, MI. Keep it up,” Sanders wrote in a post on the social platform X. “You brought out almost half as many people as we did in the same city last month!”
“Americans are fighting back against authoritarianism and attacks on the working class.”
Sanders was criticizing the turnout at the rally Trump held Tuesday in Macomb County to celebrate his first 100 days back in office.
Trump began his speech by mentioning Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) rallies across the country in opposition of his administration.
Ocasio-Cortez poked at Trump online after he claimed his crowd was bigger than that of the Democrats.
“Tell me we’re in his head without telling me we’re in his head,” she wrote in a post online.
During his speech, Trump celebrated his election win and railed against former President Biden and the judges who have attempted to block some of his executive actions.
The remarks were part of Trump’s first major speech outside of Washington, D.C., since he took office in January.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
