When Fox chastises one of Trump’s circle of sinners you know he or she is extremely incompetent. Trump’s original paid liar, Kellyanne Conway, was recently caught in such a blatant lie and Ed Henry was forced to question her veracity.

“Kellyanne, the president this morning promising he’ll protect Social Security and Medicare,” Henry said. “You were there at that town hall, he said the opposite. He said that he, in a second term, would cut Social Security and Medicare and he would cut entitlement programs. Why did he say that?”

“He didn’t say that,” Conway replied with a straight face. “You’re misquoting him, respectfully.” She went on to explain that when she brought up the reaction to the comments with Trump directly, he told her, “No, I’m talking about cutting deficits.”

We’re used to lies from the White House. For me, they’re tiresome and no longer humorous. The problem for Trump and his cronies is that they tell so many of them, they are now lying about their lies.

Trump definitely said that he would ‘cut entitlements.’ He is desperate to find ways to pay for his biggest mistake. His “tax cuts,” or “tax reform,” has removed revenue from the treasury and added trillions of dollars to the national debt. Trump is determined to make the working class pay for his many mistakes.

Henry recited the exact quotes from a town hall meeting.

At the town hall, Fox host Martha MacCallum told the president, “If you don’t cut something in entitlements, you’ll never really deal with the debt.”

“Oh, we’ll be cutting,” Trump said in response. “But we’re also going to have growth like you’ve never had before.”

“So Martha MacCallum said right there, but you’re going to have cut entitlements to cut the deficit and he said, ‘We’ll be cutting,’” Henry said after the clip finished.

And yet, in the face of video evidence, Conway maintained her spin. “But that wasn’t what he was talking about, he wasn’t talking about cutting entitlements,” she insisted, pointing to a statement from Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham that similarly tried to clean up those comments.

Most Americans find Conway disgusting. Her only purpose is to lie for Trump and she began her “job” back in August of 2016.

The truth is that Trump and his party of fake conservatives will increase the debt and they’re fine with that fact.

Every American, including Trump supporters, is aware that when his lips or thumbs are moving, he’s lying. The truth remains his greatest enemy.
