Conway: Trump doesn't think he's lying on voter fraud, wiretap claims

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that President Trump doesn't believe he's lying about various controversial statements he's made without backing them up with evidence.

Conway got into a heated exchange with CNN host Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" on Sunday over CNN's coverage of Trump, with Stelter saying the network was covering the scandals coming out of the White House.

Conway demanded Stelter say what scandals had come out of the administration. Stelter responded by pointing to Trump's claims that former President Obama ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower and that millions of illegally cast votes cost him the popular vote - both ideas that the president presented without backing up with evidence.

"The scandals are about the president's lies," Stelter said. "About voter fraud, about wire-tapping, his repeated lies about those issues. That's the scandal."

"He doesn't think he's lying about those issues, and you know it. He has gone forth and he talked about surveillance," Conway said before Stelter cut her off.

"A lot of husbands don't think they're lying when they cheat on their spouse and then say they're not. It doesn't mean they're not lying," Stelter said.

4. She is telling us since Trump believes a lie then he's not lying when he repeats the lie.

That since Trump doesn't believe a fact is a fact, he is not lying when he calls that fact a lie.

If it's not true to Trump then it's not true to anyone. It's not true, period.

If Trump believes something (no matter how false), then it's true for him, so it's not a lie.

She should join a circus as the Amazing Pretzel Woman. Come one, come all! See the Amazing Pretzel Woman contort herself into knots!

Oh, wait...she already has and already is.

Here is a link to the NYT story detailing EVERY LIE Trumpnocchio has told since 1/20/17 in which he has told at least one lie on 62 of the 124 days he's been in office.

They all know he is deluded and they allow him to behave so in public.
His closest allies and family are shaming him by not telling him the truth.
