The National Park Service Twitter account retweeted this observation from New York Times reporter Binyamin Appelbaum on Friday: "Compare the crowds: 2009 inauguration at left, 2017 inauguration at right." The tweet contained images from both events showing an apparent difference in crowd size. The retweet has since been deleted. The message continued, "Please make sure that any scheduled tweets are no longer scheduled," and referred all questions to another career staffer at the department. On Saturday, the National Park Service called Friday's retweets "mistaken."
