Interesting GOP tactic - they go out there, fling around lies, lies get reported

then, on occasion, when the lies really piss some people off, they go out and do a sort of apology.

But - the lie is out there - the base - the trumpers - don't hear the apology, or claim it was coerced - and presto....lie becomes truth.

This is what has been going on - this is the Fox/Rush/Hannity system - for years. This is why nearly half of our country is lost beyond salvage.

Would be a great thing if the CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC could do the same thing only on the opposite side of the talking points wouldn't it?? Not ever gonna happen though, we all know faux noise is the echo chamber for the right, and the left really has no one entity to call their own.
