This audience was NOT made up of ignorant, uneducated midwestern and southern "Christians," who will believe any lie if it comes out the appropriate mouth or Fox "News."

This audience was made up of senior diplomats from around the world who, with the exception of Nikki Haley, lie, and are lied to all the time. They all know it, they all know how to do it, and they sure as hell recognize it when an amateur tries it and thinks he's fooling somebody. THAT's why they were laughing.
