3000 Pinocchios! Howard Dean lies about Beto O'Rourke's crowd size in El Paso

Howard Dean says Beto O’Rourke had more supporters than President Trump at his march in El Paso, TX last night:

Beto draws 10000 supporters. Trump 6500. Hmmmm.

This is what fact-checkers usually call a lie. From MSNBC’s Garrett Haake where we see that Trump had a total at his rally of about 17,000 while Beto O’Rourke had about 7000:

I hate crowd size estimates (outside & dark, everyone is guessing) but here you go:

TRUMP
El Paso Coliseum: 6500 capacity (per FD)
Outside/Overflow: 10-12k (unofficial PD estimate given to @alivitali)

BETO/March for Truth:
Organizers Estimate: ~7000
Pre-event estimate: 6k-9k

Beto’s people say there were 7000 people at his rally while Howard Dean says there were 10,000. That earns him 3000 Pinnochios.
