Jim Acosta asks kayleigh McEnany about trumps 18,000 lies...

@Acosta: On Twitter - shouldn't POTUS be fact-checked? Especially one who has made as many false claims as Trump?

McENANY: There's no one that should be fact-checked more than the media

A: Are you saying Trump hasn't lied?

M: His intent is always to give truthful information

@Acosta
: You have pledged in this briefing room to never lie to the American people. Are you saying
@POTUS
has never lied to the public before?

and Acosta mentioned when the press make a mistake they own up to it. the prez never does.

then she picks off a few "lies" by the media.... going back to 2017

not quite close to trumps 18,000 lies.

but yes, she is a very good propagandist.

Without intending to, she rationalized Trump's failure to correct his lies by equating them to (supposedly) uncorrected lies by the press.

Ergo, she basically admitted that the orange Orang lies. And Trump is relying on this dimwit??? Ironically, her 89+ IQ is probably an improvement over the other two dimwitted press secretaries.

In this short a time, I care nothing about what she says or does.
It's totally predictable.
Same thing, different day.

She'll blow it at some point after she sees everything she says thrown back in her face, she seems like someone who doesn't hear the word "no" very much. She'll melt down before long.
