Trump's campaign manager says Trump didn't lie about Lester Holt because he didn't know the facts

When Donald Trump called the debate moderator a Democrat. He's actually a registered Republican



Donald Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says the candidate didn’t lie when her erroneously labeled NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, a registered Republican, as a Democrat. Holt will moderate Monday night’s presidential debate at Hofstra University. In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Conway said in order to lie, Trump would have had to know Holt’s party registration to begin with.

“I don’t know that he knew what Lester Holt’s voter registration was,” she said. “He didn’t lie. A lie would mean that he knew the man’s party registration.”

1. Follow up question for Kellyanne....

"So, instead of lying, he was just talking out of his ass, right?"

and...

"Do we really need a president who just makes shit up as he goes along? Or would someone more reality based be more appropriate?"

3. He said he knew something he didn't - that's a LIE. But then YOU LIE, Conway, and always have. $$$$

4. Making shit up is lying

5. In other words:

He was just spouting off about thing he has no knowledge about.
Much like he will govern as President and talk with other world leaders.

6. Of course. Trump's ignorance is his greatest asset.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. And that is one of his biggest weaknesses. He spouts off before he knows what he's talking about.

Which means, Kellyanne, that your candidate if full of shit.

8. So Trump's campaign manager says he's just stupid and not a liar?

C'mon Kellyanne, you know he's both.
