Claim 3: “President Trump was loudly booed by NBA Finals fans at Bryant Park”
MISLEADING
While one source (Flipboard) mentions Bryant Park, other web search results (Fortune, tempo.co) clarify that the booing occurred inside Madison Square Garden. Tempo.co notes that Bryant Park was an 'alternative viewing location,' implying the event happened at the arena and was viewed elsewhere, rather than the booing occurring at the park itself.
