The Banality of Henry Kissinger

[rhett o rick]

165. You are quick to call someone you disagree with a liar, "LYING about Hillary by showing a photograph

In the review, she calls Kissinger a "friend" and reports, "I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state.

Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean they are lying.
