Dallas Morning News goes after Conway and the Trump teams lying bullshit.


Political Cartoon is by Tom Toles in The Washington Post.

...............

Team Trump's trouble with the truth runs so much deeper than Kellyanne Conway's 'honest mistake'
Michael A. Lindenberger, Editorial Writer


Mistakes happen. The press makes them. Government makes them. I make them, too, and so do you. What's often more revealing about character, however, is what comes after the error is brought to light.

And on that score, the two people whom Americans are paying to speak on behalf of their president — presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sean Spicer — have revealed themselves to be fundamentally ill-suited for the job.

They aren't honest, which is a problem only because they make our president dishonest. Worse still, when they speak for the president, they are often speaking for the country — and in that way they can make liars of us all.

...............

........ when Conway defends her own error by explaining that everyone else gets stuff wrong, too, and cites as an example a story that "almost" published and Miller's mistake two weeks ago, she's just reminding everyone not to take her at face value.

That wouldn't matter, not even a little, but she's being paid by the American people to work for our president. If she can't be trusted to simply admit when she's wrong, she isn't doing anyone, certainly not the president, any good.

Consistent, persistent, and deliberate falsification of reality in order to create a new environment in which they plan to operate - fascism.
