Today’s POTUS performance was breathtaking in the sheer number of provable falsehoods, intentional mischaracterizations and outright lies uttered. Clearly someone feels emboldened. Will GOP leaders continue to shrug this off? Bury their head in the sand?

“Trump is lying” is trending on twitter this morning. Finally.
It felt kinda lonely 7 years ago when I said “Trump is lying” about the president’s birth certificate. Because no one else in media called it a lie, the lying got worse.
And here we are. https://t.co/F3nK5pr5bM— Lawrence O’Donnell (@Lawrence) June 15, 2018

“I think that the report yesterday … totally exonerates me. There was no collusion, there was no obstruction,” President Trump says of the Justice Department IG report https://t.co/PwsMccqlXf

This is a bizarre, pathological, obscene, enormous, mind-numbing, frightening lie. The IG report had absolutely nothing to do with the investigation into Russian collusion or Trump’s alleged obstruction of justice. https://t.co/LTq8mEzHLw
