Irin Carmon: ‘Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders Regularly Lied Not Just to the Press But to the American People’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARMON: “What we’re seeing is precisely the consequence of what Daniel is talking about and reporters daily interacting with Trump to call him out. There is a desire here to pretend everything is normal and to memory hole the parts that are extraordinary. Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders regularly lied to the press and American people in service of most likely play tabletly unconstitutional policies. So does truth matter? Does it matter that we can trust basically what’s coming out of the White House? Instead we have this impulse where we want to move on and pretend it’s normal and people want to take their kids to school and worry about their jobs and not keep thinking about the fact that people in what is supposedly the most elevated institution of our country are lying to them and so we turned it into meaningless trivia. We want to make Sean Spicer into this lovable hilarious chakt act hilarious character with no rhythm. Sean Spicer is out there lying about voting fraud.”
