"In other words, she leaked," President Trump says of Feinstein, acting out the Cornyn/Feinstein exchange on Brett Kavanaugh and the letter as a one-act play. Cornyn said at the time he believed Feinstein when she told him she did not leak the Christine Blasey Ford letter.

Trump just landed in Montana, where he will again tell people to vote for Greg Gianforte, a Congressman who violently assaulted a reporter, lied about it, got caught lying, then pleaded guilty. Trump explicitly praised Gianforte *because* he attacked a journalist. It’s disgusting

More lies, more hatred. He lies about pre-existing conditions: Republicans have opposed them. He makes up a middle class tax cut that is unlikely to happen – why would it be needed if the last one helped the middle class (which it didn’t).
Here comes the part of the Charlotte rally where Trump drops all pretenses & dives headfirst into authoritarian fearmongering: "As we speak, Democrats are encouraging illegal aliens to break our laws…They want to release criminal aliens right out of jail and onto your streets."
