‘He maliciously lies’: ‘Morning Joe’ panel shreds latest attempt to defend Trump’s wiretap conspiracy

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday kept trying to defend President Donald Trump’s claims that former President Barack Obama ordered an illegal wiretap of Trump Tower, even though members of the president’s own party have said there’s no evidence of that happening.

Reacting to Spicer’s continued attempts to back up Trump’s evidence-free claims, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed that an “inside” source had told her Trump knows that he made a mistake by accusing his predecessor of committing a felony, but that he still doesn’t want to back down regardless.

Panelist Donny Deutsch, meanwhile, was furious that the Trump administration continued to spout obvious falsehoods about the wiretapping claims despite the fact that congressional leaders from the president’s own party say they have no basis in reality.

“Where is the rage?” he asked. “If a seventh-grader sent out on social media a text that said, ‘That other student cheated,’ (falsely) accused a peer of cheating, they would be expelled. Should we not hold our president to the same accountability as a seventh-grader? He not only lies, he maliciously lies… There needs to be rage about this!”

1. trump actions keeps proving the charge he lacks the temperment to be president

each day this story remains in the news, the more people will turn, especially conservative congress people..who know 2018 is shaping up to be their Waterloo 10x...

trump could actually find redemption if he went on national TV and said an apology to Obama and to the american people but no narcissist can do that....and such we will never hear an apology directly from trump himself, ever

2. Where's the rage indeed?

We - the country, the MSM in general - showed during Dubya's two "elections" and the Iraq war stuff that we get outrage apathy. Over time, things get normalized. People get fatigued, depressed - especially when there is no solution to it.

Seems that the necessary rage is in sadly short supply these days.....and it doesn't help when one "side" are true believers and enablers of all of the bullshit.
