I Am So Proud Of CNN / Don Lemmon - Had Trump Surrogate On To Ask Her Why They Are Still Lying

I'm not kidding. Don had Marsha Blackburn on (a Trump Surrogate) and demanded an answer to the question "Why are Trump Surrogates continuing to lie about the birther issue, and who started it". Of course Congresscritter Blackburn went straight to Whitewater, Benghazi, and CGI. Never would answer why her and her Trump loving friends are lying their asses off when (CNN) played clip after clip of Trump Supporters lying. Blackburn said Hillary was a birther, and she was sure she could find video to prove it. Really? That was her excuse. Of course it was almost to the point of them making fun of her. It's not like she brought a video of Hillary asking
Barack to prove where he was born.....

Marsha, why are you and your friends lying straight faced into all them cameras anyway?

I am proud of the way someone is actually starting to push back on the lies. It's a good start.

They just were trying not to come across as unfair. Now they are going at them really hard.

He is kinda hit and miss. He was all over the map during the plane disapearance coverage. However when he latches on a guest who is trying to tell lies he can be pretty effective.

I know that look. I'm thinking anyone who has to put up with the cognitive dissonance it takes to be a conservative must have to "soothe" themselves in some way. Kelly What's Her Name has the same look.

LOL, I almost kicked my tv in a few days ago watching MSNBC.

Steve Kornacki called Trump's statement that Clinton started birtherism, "a very thin claim."
