Alongside - difference?

Drew Hinshaw, from The Wall Street Journal, said this in a tweet: "I'm deleting this tweet because I've come to feel the phrasing gives the impression than 60,000 people marched for ethno-authoritarian groups, when majority marched happily, knowingly alongside – difference". The tweet he deleted said that 60,000 Poles marched behind Nazi regalia. Does "difference" after "-" means that what really happened shows the difference from what was written in his original tweet, that is, what he said is different from the reality?


EDIT: I think that "than" should be "that", but I just copied that sentence directly from Twitter.

'- difference' = there is a difference.

The tweet he deleted said that 60,000 Poles marched behind Nazi regalia.👁 Cross :cross:

The tweet he deleted gave the impression that 60,000 Poles marched behind Nazi regalia.
when, in fact, the majority marched alongside happily, and they knew what they were doing.

But the tweet actually said that they marched behind Nazi regalia, but that doesn't matter. By the way, what do you mean by "there is a difference"? There is a difference from what really happened? Thanks for your quick answer!

Edit: sorry for my typos. My keyboard is a little messy.

That information does not appear in you extract and it is important.

The difference is between 1. and 2.

1. 60,000 people marched for ethno-authoritarian groups,
2. the majority of the 60,000 people marched happily, knowingly alongside
