Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley held up huge photographs of crowds at the inaugurations for Presidents Obama and Trump, and demanded Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget admit Obama had more people.



“It does appear that the crowd on the left hand side is bigger than the crowd on the right hand side,” S.C. Rep. Mick Mulvaney responded.



"I'm not really sure how this ties to the OMB," Mulvaney added.



"The reason I'm raising this," Merkley said. "Is because budget bills often contain buried deceptions -- you and I talked about 'Magic Asteriks.'"
