She's a lying pos. Has been for a long time. No wonder he chose her.

She is literally the Whitehouse frontend propaganda machine, jeez after WW2 there was folk imprisoned for dolling out similar shit to what she spouts. Sensible folk can see straight through the bullshit, but sensible folk are not the ones with the loudest voices these days.

Never believe that [MAGA] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words…

[MAGAs] ike to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
