So yeah, don't try and blame it on the press secretary, it's clear Trump told him what to say.

No, it's not. Trump didn't say it was the largest inaugeration to ever happen. Also, his press secretary making an offhand comment about a crowd he had just seen isn't the same as seriously contending that it was the largest crowd ever.
It was a serious contention, backed up with a threat.
