“Well, I think we should be accurate,” Dennard said. “He was not at Trump Tower. He did not — that wasn’t the full statement. I think we should read the full statement. As I interpreted what he said, he was talking about the violence on both — on many sides.”

“That’s not what he said,” Setmayer replied. “We’re still debating this? There’s still a question that there are ‘fine people on both sides?'”

“The president was referring to the fact that there was violence on both sides,” Dennard claimed.

“He said ‘very fine people on both sides,'” she shot back.

“Let’s be accurate. Go back and read exactly what he said,” Dennard instructed.

1. Paris Dennard is an idiot...

...as if everyone didn't know already...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. No.

It is purposeful, intended. Reassures the base and jostles the wobbly bits in the middle.

8. It may well have been purposeful and intended...

...but that doesn't mean Paris Dennard isn't an idiot. The two assertions are far from mutually exclusive...

2. Paris almost makes me miss this guy...

3. "He was not at Trump Tower" (lie)

Trump was in the lobby of Trump Tower

And he did say "very fine people on both sides" (lie to say otherwise)

"As I interpreted what he said"

Seriously?

LMAO

12. Every word out of their mouths is a lie.

[Solly Mack]

13. Yep

4. Why didn't the show immediately play the clip when Paris lied?

[SCantiGOP]

5. Right

They could have had that on within 60 seconds.

7. They didn't expect THAT particular bald-faced lie.

So, they didn't have the clip queued up for play. If the segment were long enough the producer probably could have gotten it from the archive and played it. But, by that time the conversation would have moved on and it would not have been the thing to do to keep things flowing.

9. They should be prepared to fact check any guest in real time.

They are supposed to be a professional news room, presumably with a high speed internet connection with research software and access to Google and YouTube. It should only take seconds to pull up that video.

10. Perhaps someone should introduce her to video recording equipment

Start with a beta max
