Ruth Marcus: Trump Is ‘Saying Something that’s Demonstrably Untrue’

‘It calls into question his personality’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MARCUS: "Well, so, I think the answer to the question, does it matter, depends on to whom. I think it does matter broadly to our democracy because for a number of reasons, first of all, he’s simply saying something that’s demonstrably untrue. That calls into question his assessment of other facts. It calls into question his personality and his resilience. And it calls into question the kind of foundations of our democracy. It doesn’t — there is certainly a set of voters to whom it doesn’t matter, the people who wouldn’t care if he shot somebody on fifth avenue."
