White House Says It Is Unpatriotic to Offer Irrefutable Video Evidence That a General Lied

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a stirring defense of Donald Trump’s chief of staff, General John Kelly, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on Friday that it was “unpatriotic in the extreme” to offer irrefutable video proof that a four-star general lied.

“It is unpatriotic enough to accuse a four-star general of lying,” Sanders told the White House press corps. “But to make available a video that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that that general lied is unpatriotic bordering on treasonous.”

Warming to her subject, Sanders said that any American who sees undeniable video evidence that a general lied and chooses to believe the video “shows disrespect for our country and hatred for our flag.”

“General Kelly has served our country with courage and valor,” she said. “He has earned the right to lie without fear of being contradicted by the facts.” ...............

7. They'd absolutely believe this,

and totally agree with it! Republicans just love to have someone's boot on their throat at all times, and to tell them what to believe, and how they should feel. That gives them the warm and fuzzies. They just love totalitarianism.

8. Keep them coming.

One sure way to remove military service as a sacred cow in this society is to provide examples of how often they use it to deflect blame.
