That's why the Gish Gallop is used by Trump, and by so many other right-wing liars. Lie big, lie bold, lie fast and furious. How does an interviewer counter that?

O'Donnell asked pointed and probing questions. The answers she got were lies, lies, and more lies. I did hear her counter the lies at some junctures, but ultimately, it's her job to ask questions, not to make declarations.
