Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) says he expects President Trump "to lie to the American people" during a primetime address on Tuesday about the partial government shutdown and situation at the southern border.

“I expect the president to lie to the American people. Why do I expect this? Because he has been lying to the American people," Nadler said at a press conference near the border on Monday.

Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, was joined by other congressional Democrats, including Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-N.M.) and Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), whose twin brother, Julián, is mulling a presidential bid.

Nadler argued the White House has consistently used inaccurate statistics to bolster its claims about the existence of a crisis at the border.

2. His main LIE about Mexico paying for his POS wall certainly worked with Trumps lemmings....

Move on tonight to this FAKE "crisis" and the 4,000 terrorists who crossed the border just last year.

4. Duh, this is a total given as it's all he ever does, lie, lie, then make up totally different lies &

spew them. If his ugly orange assmsouth or teeny tiny fingers are moving, he's lying - period the end.

6. I don't know if I can stand to watch

tRump's little self-love fest. I hate the sound of his voice, his bloated face. Not much I don't hate about him, actually.
