Well, sort of.<\/p>\n
Rudy Giuliani, in trying to argue against the Russia investigation, further concreted its necessity with his now infamous quote “Truth isn’t truth.”<\/p>\n
It’s just the latest attack in the Trump Administration’s war with the truth.<\/p>\n
First came this one from Kellyanne Conway in January 2017: “Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts” when confronted about evidence of Trump’s crowd size.<\/p>\n
That was followed up by this Orwellian quote from Trump himself on July 24, 2018: “Stick with us. Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. … What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.”<\/p>\n
And then now, on August 19, 2018, we can add to it “Truth isn’t truth.”<\/p>\n
I mean, it’s one thing to hear Trump lie – he does it all the time, and of course his political operatives spin it as “He’s exaggerating, don’t you understand sarcasm, it’s just hyperbole…”<\/p>\n
But to hear them lying about the TRUTH? That’s just a whole other level of lying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
