MSNBC’s Reid: Trump Has Distinguished Himself as a President Prone to Dishonesty

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: "Good morning and welcome to “A.M. Joy.” Over the past ten months Donald Trump has distinguished himself as a president who is prone to, shall we say, dishonesty? And he tends to doubledown on the lies he tells when he gets caught. But this week Donald Trump did something truly extraordinary even for him. Faced with an eyewitness account of his phone conversation with a gold star widow, a conversation that left the wife of a slain American soldier in tears, according to the people who were with her, a call in which Donald Trump reportedly told the wife of sergeant la David Johnson that her husband knew what he signed up for when he joined the military and was deployed to Niger where he and three other U.S. Special forces soldiers were killed in an ambush. Trump also reportedly told the distraught widow who was pregnant with the couple’s third child in what presumably was an attempt at sympathy with her loss, but I guess it hurts anyway. Faced with the truth of that account by an African-American congresswoman from Florida, representative fredica Wilson, a long-time friend of sergeant Johnson’s family, who was riding in the car with the family to retrieve sergeant Johnson’s body, Donald Trump didn’t lie saying he said he knew what he was getting into, but a man who himself was a gold star father, general Kelly, went to the white House podium to also attack the congresswoman."
