Rudy Giuliani, Under Oath, Reveals Baseless Origins Of Trump Big Lie Claims

Rachel Maddow reads excerpts from the transcript of a deposition, under oath, of Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in which he explains that he can't remember but thinks some of the conspiracy theories he pushed about the 2020 election came from social media and he didn't bother to check the truthfulness of the claims from his bombshell source who claimed the election was stolen.




Hmmmmmm..... No one is talking about this except Rachel?

5. I wish all Democratic elected officials realized that's what the media does...

... so that they could refrain from feeding the fire. I blame the media, but Democrats should also know better what the nature of the media is.

2. If Repukes aren't under oath, they are LYING!

This proves what we've been saying all along. Chump, Giuliani, Powell and all the others have been lying incessantly. All they do is make up shit because we NEVER hold their feet to the fire.

When they finally are forced to admit - under oath - that it's all lies and BS, nobody even pays attention. This is how Chump and the Repukes have been able to escape the consequences of their actions and lies. The media are mostly ignoring it.

Honestly. I do not think MSNBC would let this get much attention except for the fact that they cannot control Rachel.

This man was allowed to captivate many hours of media attention based on a Facebook meme. THIS is a problem for us.
