Trump lies! Do not trust anything he says as President Trump!

CNN panelist nails Trump’s bogus intelligence claims: ‘Trump lies — and he lies compulsively’


In a Tuesday night appearance with Don Lemon, Democratic pundit Bakari Sellers called out President-elect Donald Trump for his bizarre need to lie to the American people.

“That’s going to be difficult for journalists and media to handle, even in press conference,” he said.” I think Kayleigh [McEnany] is right when she’s discussing with Hilary the fact that he handles press conferences and media very well because he simply lies and it’s our job to call him out. Today, in most recent tweet about the national intelligence agencies, he lied. He simply lied. Intelligence agencies had to come out and say there was no intention to meet today. They were always going to meet Friday.”

McEnany tried to claim that those are unconfirmed reports because Trump is saying one thing and the intelligence community is saying another.

“No, that’s a lie,” Sellers said.

Lemon noted that there was a conversation with Dan Rather about Trump’s “untruths” and the responsibility the press has for calling him out. “He said, ‘call a lie, is a lie, is a lie,'” Lemon quoted.

“It’s the truth,” Sellers replied. “If you say something that’s not accurate and misleading and intentionally say something you know not to be the case. It’s a lie.”
