After watching a few interviews, today, it seems clear that Trump’s people have been told to double down on the “Hillary started the birther movement” lie. It also seems that many of you were caught off guard by this, especially when delivered in the hyper-aggressive, no lie is too far, just keep saying it style of verbal combat that marks Trump’s enablers.
Yes, the media are pushing back, but that is a position new to them and undoubtedly uncomfortable. Don’t count on it sticking. It’s your job, anyway.
Every one of you who gets interviewed for any medium needs to have names and dates ready to counter this foolishness. Who really started it and when. Who picked it up next and amplified it and when. And what idiots with what peripheral connection to the Clinton campaign stupidly picked it up after that and what happened to them.
And, because the enablers will interrupt your every third word, don’t be afraid to tell the them to STFU while you prove that they are lying.
I have seen all the information on line, and you should have better research capabilities than do I. You’re also getting paid to do this. It’s not rocket science. It requires no divination. Trump will demand at least this fig leaf as the price for stating the truth about Obama. Be ready: names and dates.
