Lied about the law concerning classified documents; lied about what Washington, D.C. was like when he was president; vowed to expand his travel bans related to ethnicity and religion to include left wing political affiliation; claimed he threatened Vladimir Putin with war; bragged about his criminal indictments; and repeatedly vowed to essentially use the power of the federal government to exact revenge for losing in 2020 and for being indicted.That last part is what had Velshi worried. “We do not typically air Donald Trump’s speeches live, and on this show we are judicious about even clips from his rallies and always either with, or for, the proper conduct or discussion,” Velshi said.
“That’s because Donald Trump lies so frequently. We all learned on January 6 that those lies can fuel very real violence. We’ve also learned that the sting from the poison of Trump’s lies gets duller the more frequently you’re exposed to it.
But as journalists, we also have a duty to bear witness when our nation is in peril, to shine a light on the dark path that Donald Trump and his allies and enablers take us down,” he said. “And that is the moment at which we find ourselves this morning,” Velshi continued, turning to the topic of Trump’s speech the night before. “I’ll admit to being a little surprised, late last night, that anything Donald Trump can say can surprise me anymore, but this is some nasty stuff.
