So your defense is that he wasnā€™t lying, he was just spouting off without bothering to check his facts? Okayā€¦

This coupled with what she said about the campaign embeds ā€œslanderingā€ HO (BY TWEETING HIS WORDS) Iā€™ve really just lost all ability to even. Wake me up when itā€™s over.

Iā€™m sure that Conway is technically correctā€“Trump wouldnā€™t have known of Holtā€™s registration. However, it is just as reprehensible that he would state as a fact something that he had absolutely know knowledge of. Trump does this all the timeā€“he makes stuff up without any concern as to whether itā€™s true or not.

The dishonesty of the guy is comprised by his willingness to say things he knows to be untrue as well as his willingness to say things that he doesnā€™t know anything about.

Trump playbook:
1: Lie
2: If caught lie more and louder
3: Have surrogates lie to cover your lie
4: Accuse the ā€˜mediaā€™ of lying because they pointed out your lie
5: Have dinner with Roger Ailes

Like the neocons constantly saying 9/11 and Saddam Hussein in the same breath, weā€™re finally starting to hear the words Trump and lie in the same sentenceā€¦ from his own spokesperson.

So, Ms. Conway, the accusations against Trump raping a 13 year old arenā€™t ā€˜liesā€™ because we have no way of knowing if he actually did or not. Do I have that right?

Liar or ignorant ass, Trumpā€™s revving up his base like he always does.

Could someone on MJ ask Conway why Trump rants instead of talking policy?

ā€œI donā€™t know his registrationā€ was the truth.

Claiming to know something he didnā€™t was a lie.

Well, stock up on drinks and snacks because after heā€™s up there with no teleprompter for 90 minutes sheā€™s going to be Conwaysplaining in that spin room for four or five days straight at least.

Aggressive, militant ignorance. Is that what 40% of the American people actually want in a president? Heaven help us.

Yeah, he didnā€™t knowingly lie. He assumed that Holt is a Democrat because black people= Democrats, so obviously Holt is a Democrat and out to get him. Trump just assumes things and states them as facts. At some point, when youā€™ve had a number of assumptions pointed out to you as being false, if you continue to make wild assumptions youā€™re in fact lying.

Conway: He didnā€™t lie he just assumed that because Holt is black and hasnā€™t been on his TV show that he was not a Republican.

To be fair the chances of any given black guy being Republican is low. Though then again Trump could actually try to know what he is talking about before he goes off but that isnā€™t his MO.

So, when Trump lies itā€™s because he is ignorant and foolish.

Great defense!

Trumpā€™s defense, that he makes a racist assumption, is hilarious!
