Damage Control Fail: White House Deputy Press Secretary Repeatedly Lies To Fox News
Donald Trump's remarks that he would accept damaging information on his political rivals from hostile foreign powers has triggered his propaganda army to come out in force today.
Hogan Gidley, White House deputy press secretary joined America's Newsroom and was asked about Trump's interview with ABC.
Outright lying is the norm for all Trump officials and Hogan's hero was no different.
At first Gidley made believe that ABC News edited the interview to make Trump look ridiculous.
He repeated over and over again that Trump said he would "do both," use the information and report to the FBI.
But that was a lie. Trump said, "I think maybe you do both." and "I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI. If I thought there was something wrong."
Later in the interview, Sandra Smith clearly asked about Christopher Wray's remarks on the illegal use of foreign interference.
Smith said, "Stephanopoulos pointed out the FBI Director Christopher Wray has said campaigns should reach out to the bureau if they are contacted by a foreign entity. does the president think the FBI Director is wrong on that?"
