Brzezinski: The Best Thing We Can Do When This President Lies Is Give the American People the Facts

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “In 1989, Donald Trump took a full page ad in the 'New York Daily News' calling to bring back the death penalty for five young men accused of raping a jogger in Central Park. He also advocated tougher policing nationwide, telling Larry King in an interview, quote, 'The ad’s basically very strong and vocal, they are saying bring back law and order. And I’m not just referring to New York, I’m referring to everything.' Here is more of what Trump said, Trump, to Larry King in 1989."

TRUMP: "I’m also in favor of bringing back police forces that can do something instead of just turning their back because every quality lawyer that represents people that are in trouble said the first thing they do is start shouting police brutality, et cetera.

BRZEZINSKI: "DNA evidence and a jailhouse confession later exonerated the Central Park Five and New York City settled a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, but Trump has not apologized nor changed his mind, writing in a 2014 'Daily News' op-ed, quote, 'Settling doesn’t mean innocence. Speak to the detectives on the case and try listening to the facts. These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels.' And, Joe, the best we can do in a situation like this is give viewers and the American people the facts. And when this president lies, try and present the facts because he lies often."
