They had no problem calling Al gore a liar for one deliberately misinterpreted statement, but they *still* wince at even saying Donnie "has a problem with the truth" when he's literally the most thoroughly documented liar in history.

And they've long since stopped bothering even mentioning the grift of charging secret service random prices to stay at his residence because hey it's a hotel, so grifting is ok I guess.
