“It’s one of those days when you just don’t know what to do because we have two things put out as truth [by the White House] and they’re opposites. And, as a result of the fact that they’re opposites, one of them is untrue.”
On Monday, Fox News’ Shep Smith was once again dropping truth bombs. And he didn’t shy away from calling White House lies, “lies.”
Smith was upset about the shifting stories coming out of Donald Trump and the White House about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between the Russians and Don Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort.
Originally, Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Donald Trump had nothing to do with the false statement put out claiming that the meeting was about Russian adoption. But last week we found out Donald Trump actually dictated that entire statement. And we learned this from Trump’s own lawyers, in a letter that they sent to special counsel Robert Mueller in January.
At Monday’s White House press briefing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked repeatedly why her statements from the podium were exact opposites of what Trump’s lawyers say. She refused to answer.
“I’m not going to respond to a letter from the president’s outside counsel,” she said. “We’ve purposefully walled off, and I would refer you to them for comment.”
After showing clips from Sanders’ original statements and her refusal to answer today, Shep Smith said, “Somebody is lying to us.”
“It’s one of those days when you just don’t know what to do because we have two things put out as truth, and they’re opposites. And as a result of the fact they’re opposites, one of them is untrue,” Smith said.
He continued,
“If one person says one thing, and another person says the opposite thing, someone’s not telling the truth … these inconsistencies seem to be among the most consistent things that we live with now.”
