Lemon: If the President Was Being Briefed Hourly, Why Did He Still Get Alabama Wrong?

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEMON: “So there is a correction. Surely someone on his staff must have told him, Mr. President, no, no Alabama. Surely, right? A great place called camera. You heard him. A state that went for Donald Trump by a huge margin in 2016. But I digress. The fact is there were some very, very early models that showed a possible threat to parts of Alabama, but those models were from Tuesday, August 27th. Wednesday the 28th. Models were updated four times a day. So by Sunday morning, remember, that was Wednesday, Tuesday and Wednesday, this is Sunday. By Sunday morning when the president cited an already nonexistent threat to Alabama, those models had been updated at least 15 times. Like I say, the White House insisting that the president was being briefed hourly, right? So he’s being briefed hourly. Updated 15 times. Remember, Gresham said he’s being briefed hourly. So why did he get it so wrong? Why did he continue to insist people in Alabama were threatened, even though the national weather service said that there was no threat, that that was not true? Why did he double, triple, quadruple down? Actually, even more than that. On his very provably false claims. Monday, Labor Day, president tweeting, after report on ABC News, such a phony hurricane report by lightweight reporter John Carl of ABC News.”
