Opinion: Republicans accept and applaud Trump’s horrifying lies, JRubinBlogger writes
President Trump looks to the cheering audience as he arrives to speak at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md., on Saturday.
Unfortunately, it’s not just the CPAC crowd that applauds his lies. Members of Congress will insist that Trump never lied about Russia and that the investigation into Carter Page was inspired by crooked FBI agents relying on the dossier . Republicans in both houses routinely insist that there is no evidence of any cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russians. They insist that there is a border emergency and that Democrats want open borders .
I have heard him before the summit itself, before the press conference, talk about how deeply he cared about Otto Warmbier and his family. So whatever happened to Otto Warmbier clearly happened after he entered North Korean custody, after Kim Jong Un knew that he was in North Korean custody.
