This conduct has been normalized which is tragic.

Read this headline below again and consider that this is The President of the United States. https://t.co/bQqPqWtHIl
Last night @realDonaldTrump came before Congress and the American people and made up a series of lies. That was unbecoming, violated tradition & was offensive.

And right now the Administration is still suing to eliminate coverage for pre-existing conditions.#WednesdayWisdom https://t.co/nXE1sFk2bc
A pathological liar has a huge rhetorical advantage over rivals who are too timid to call lying by its rightful name

Why are Trump's nonstop lies to Congress during his SOTU speech being treated as less of a breach of "decorum" than @SpeakerPelosi's ripping up of his speech is?https://t.co/3C4RscHgot

Perhaps the biggest lie President Trump told tonight was his claim he'll protect patients with pre-existing conditions.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 5, 2020
His admin is in court trying to take those protections away.
The only way he can truly protect people with pre-existing conditions is to drop the lawsuit now.
"drew on falsehoods." They will bend over backwards to not call a lie a lie. This is just embarrassing levels of equivocation https://t.co/F0WDrWYQtu

Rick Santorum is saying on CNN right now that Trump isn't lying when he says he wants to protect pre-existing conditions. The other 6 panelists are shaking their heads, rolling their eyes & pushing back. The problem, though, is CNN inviting Santorum on to keep spewing lies on air

Trump lied less on the economy tonight than he has before. I counted single-digit lies. There were at least 22 in a speech on the economy he gave in November. @YahooFinance documented them: https://t.co/GGVlxkcWJm pic.twitter.com/wOAk8f8SZ7

Sad!
