How Many Times Has Spicer Said 325,000 People And Only 109 Were Inconvenienced,,,,, [View all]

and how many times has he said that the 'majority of the American People' agree with the president?

Talking points they keep repeating so that they stick in the minds of the masses.

The 'majority of the American People' line really pisses me off - because we all know that that is not true. Yet the press never challenges that lie and asks where they are getting their information.
