In Wilkes-Barre, Trump regurgitated the same memes, as though no one remembered his attempt yesterday to tamper with the Manafort jury, and also obstruct justice by using Twitter to order his Attorney General to fire Robert Mueller.
And then there’s more lies...
...he began his rally speech with a 10-minute remembrance of his 2016 election night victory, bemoaning that Pennsylvania wasn’t the state to clinch the White House for him only because “the fake news refused to call it.”
“They were suffering that night, they were suffering,” Trump said of the election-night pundits. He then promised that the Keystone State would deliver his margin of victory “next time.”
“Only negative stories from the fakers back there,” the president declared.
With each denunciation, the crowd jeered and screamed at the press in the holding pen.
The inflammatory performance came just hours after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to distance herself from Trump’s previous assertions that the media is the “enemy” of the American people. Pressed during a White House briefing on the issue, Sanders said Trump “has made his position known.”
