Dishing up lies while proclaiming the love of facts, Trump and Sarah Sanders gaslight America
President Trump’s assault on truth — and would-be truthtellers — has hit a new low.
It may not seem possible, considering that this is a president who has misled or lied to the public thousands of times.
But consider what happened in a White House news briefing Wednesday afternoon. Then consider this week’s rushed and restricted FBI investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh. And, finally, consider the administration’s response to the New York Times’s groundbreaking investigation of Trump family finances that was published this week.
There can be no doubt: We’re in a whole new phase of the Orwellian nightmare in which black is called white, and you’d better not dare object to that.
