At least they went on to refer to "a litany of false statements" - but whatever happened to that good old Anglo-Saxon-derived word "lie"?

I did appreciate Jonathan Swan's comment: "We’re now in the phase of the speech when Trump is falsely claiming that kids can’t have Little League games any more because undocumented immigrants are setting up too many tents."
