CNN's Don Lemon: Trump trying to ‘save his presidency’ by lying about FBI informant
By Morgan Gstalter - 05/24/18 07:26 AM EDT


CNN host Don Lemon blasted President Trump on Wednesday, saying the president has repeatedly lied about an FBI informant used during his campaign in an effort to "save his presidency."

“The president of the United States is lying to us over and over and over and over again,” Lemon said. “We’ve all seen it with our very own eyes and we’ve heard it with our own ears.”

Lemon called Trump’s latest assault against the FBI the “biggest lie of them all.”

On Wednesday, Trump once against claimed without evidence that a “spy” was embedded in his campaign.

This isn’t just another “one-off alternative fact,” Lemon said.

“This is not just an angry president popping off,” Lemon said. “This is a deliberate and coordinated effort to save his presidency, to cast doubt on the Russian investigation by repeating a lie.”

The repetition of the lie is purposeful, the host said.

“Because if you hear him say the same thing over and over and over, it gets into your head. You may even start to wonder if there’s some truth to it. That’s exactly what the president and his allies want,” Lemon said.

Lemon said Trump is assaulting the truth daily.

“Our country is in the middle of an extreme crisis,” Lemon said. “A crisis that threatens our foundation. A crisis that threatens the values we all hold dear. A crisis created to blind us to the truth."

1. Ye-ah.. Thanks for saying it, Don Lemon..

Fake is using Goebbels playbook over and over

10. He has done this his whole life...repeating the same thing

over and over.

"He had a reputation for saying anything that came into his head,” said Donald Kass, 70, a retired agronomist who was a schoolmate. When Trump misidentified Rocca, the pro wrestler, Kass recalled, “We would laugh at him and tell him he was wrong, and he’d say he was right. The next time, he would make the same mistake, and it would be the same thing all over again.”

2. If it walks like a duck and quack like a

a criminal he is a criminal.

3. I disagree

The worst Con lie to date outside of the birther lie was the one accusing President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower.

4. So many lies. Impossible for me to say which is worst.

[malaise]

6. When you accuse the former President of wiretapping your home/office

without a scrap of evidence, it can't get worse than that. In fact M$Greedia should remind people of both the birther lie and that one every time he adds a new one to LIEGATE - the Con's presidency.

5. Donald J. Trump* IS A LIAR...

...this is common knowledge among persons that have known tRump* for years. This is why just about every member of his legal team has urged him NOT to meet with Mueller and his team because they know he cannot tell the truth.

Blather and bullshit... those are tRump*s strong suits... and that's pretty much all he's got.

9. Republican Playbook

Is crafted in a manner where they cannot lead and that has been confirmed many times over. Just ask Paul Ryan who could lose his Speakership before the end of this term.

What we missed was the power to destroy that was built into the Republican playbook. And that is what is on full display right now. The question becomes, can we recover before the damage becomes absolute? I have my doubts.

11. Right wing media has been preparing Trump's followers for months now.

They are ready to believe any lie they are told at this point.

12. What else is new?!

13. Every talking head needs to repeat this over and over and over..... nt

The coins of Trump's realm.
