Honestly, this is exactly the stuff the Cons have been screaming about Obama…that he is some kind of Orwellian media manipulator and master of double speak. meanwhile, their candidate flat out tells them lies and wipes things from teh collective memory.
It is only going to get worse as the mid-term election nears.
I had earlier thought with certainty this would be a mid-term for the record books, with the Democrats not gaining any seats, with them, in fact, likely to lose some, but if the Trump crazies continue, or get worse. well it is anybody’s guess.
Was ■■■■ like this happening with the Obama admin? I mean, they parsed words and played political games as much as anyone, but this is a pretty egregious omission that completely changes the context.
If Obama had done this, we’d get 4 years of investigations.
From what I understand tonight, the White House has acknowledged the omissions from both the White House “official” transcript and “video” but that, as yet, neither has been corrected.
Hey. If they ignore it long enough the scrubbed version will stand.
