When The Lie Is Too Embarrassing Even For Sarah Huckabee...They Send Out Raj Shah.
Everybody clearly saw Brett Kavanaugh snub Fred Guttenberg yesterday by refusing to shake his hand. Today, the spin machine tried to put lipstick on this pig by sending out Raj Shah to claim that 'security' had stepped in to prevent it, and released a security video which 'shows' it.
