Tapper Pummels Giuliani’s ‘Orwellian’ Truth Flub: We’re in a Place Where ‘Facts Are Not Facts’

‘For months, if not years, the president has been offering his view of what can charitably be called a different reality’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Jake Tapper. We begin with the politics lead. President Trump lashing out on Twitter as the lawyer spins an alternate reality. A jury is in its third day of deliberations in the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in the case brought by Robert Mueller. Michael Cohen could be facing criminal charges any day now, sources tell CNN. For months, if not years, the President has been offering a view of what can be called a different reality. You’ll recall he and the inner circle initially denied any contact with Russians. They said that contact was fine and perfectly legal. Whether you call it Orwellian or upside down, this is a place where facts are not facts and the President’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani just offered the latest iteration of this yesterday speaking of President Trump to talk to Special Counsel Mueller."
