Asked about the Maria Butina indictment, Sanders deflects by attacking the media for wondering (on social media) if she was photographed in the Oval Office.

(23,357 posts)Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. It works much better than you may think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed.
The WH is escalating their efforts in this. 30% of the country is firmly in the grasp of this cult.

(15,811 posts)that I was baffled by what Sanders was asserting. She seemed to think that the entire media apparatus was squawking about some "redhead" in the White House, and I don't recall seeing or hearing or reading anything about it.
Did I miss something? Or was SHS just deflecting (again)?

(15,811 posts)I really didn't see or hear any mention of it, though; SHS seemed to think it dominated the media.
That said, SHS and I are never on the same page on anything, so . . .

(16,811 posts)Which is why she deflects as much as she can when challenged as she has been when she attacks the Press..
All she does is LIE.

(49,429 posts)is no big deal, but the joint military exercise w/South Korea (est. cost $14 million) was cancelled because it was a waste of tax dollars. I have a strong feeling Sarah will use is as an example of "the press going after The President".
