Trump falsely claims he didn’t call to lock up Hillary Clinton | CNN Politics
Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed in a new interview that he didn’t make a “lock her up” call for the imprisonment of his Democratic opponent of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton.
LIED. He LIED, CNN. Say it!
“Falsely claimed” for fuck's sake, you spineless republiQan sewer holes.
It’s been almost a goddamned decade CNN! WaPo? NYT? Looking at all you “falsely claimed” motherfuckers. When are you going to grow up? Hm? When are you going to actually do the work of journalism instead of your paper-thin republiQan brigading?
"Lied" implies intent, which is a very squishy subject. I'd prefer they stick to just the facts, please. I'm no lawyer, but I suspect you might be asking for libel suits if you claim somebody lied and can't actually prove that they did so intentionally.
They accuse them of bad journalism. Supposing intent you can't prove is the definition of bad journalism. People need to temper their instinctual emotions a bit. I'm upset about Trump being a serial liar too (which I can say, because I'm a nobody who can totally infer his intent) but cmon, can we not leave the very foundations of factual journalism in the dust in our quest to right that wrong?
Let me get this straight: You're not sure whether Trump did deliberately claim that he didn't say, repeatedly, often, publicly, on the TV and on social media "lock her up"? You think he accidentally denied saying it, or you have come to doubt your recollection of "LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!"?
In a weird way I agree with both you and the person you replied to. My own personal doublethink, I suppose.
tHeY hAvE tO bE oBjEcTiVe.
We have the many videos. There's probably a compilation on YouTube of him starting lock her up chants.
"It doesn't matter, it was all AI generated by Antifa. Real Men Wear Diapers!"
and this is why AI/deepfakes are so scary.
It isn't just that there might be fake stuff out there. it's that real stuff could get called fake. ("I didn't say that. Deep fake FAKE NEWS FaKe NeWs!!!!")
His supporters wear the damn shirts
https://youtu.be/S5cnrp5UNnA here's one
He real scared about that sentencing.
I hope so.
Even for Trump, this one is a lot. It was essentially his campaign slogan. He didn't just say it, he led chants of it in front of crowds.
Breaking News: Lying liar lies some more lies.
More at 11.
more at eleven
Seriously. He can’t STFU to save his life.
That you reject the evidence of your eyes and ears is Trump's essential command.
Trump is easy to understand:
Trump opens mouth -> Trump lies.
Seems to have alot in common with the Russian government.
Read this earlier today and it just blew my mind… I mean, he said it during a bunch of his rallies and invented the “lock her up” thing
If Trump is claiming something, falsely is how he is going to do it.
If it's worth claiming, it's worth falsely claiming
those fake videos aren’t me. Those are deep fakes from the deep state. I don’t remember saying that! No one I know, good people, remember that. This is the first time I’ve heard of Hillary Clinton!!
Proof of senility or a bald faced lie.
Either way, just one more reason he's unfit.
Of course he said that. How is anyone even surprised at this point? Since Day 1 he's been saying whatever he wants to be true at the time - creating his own "reality" - and his base goes with it. He's never been burdened by the truth, and there's been no repercussions for his flagrant lying. Yes, this is an outrageous lie, but even in that it's unremarkable.
I mean at this point does this clown remember like 80% of the shit he's said??
I'd like to have someone ask him to name all of his children out of the blue.
I bet he'd get three, maybe four.
They've done it, he forgets Tiffany every single time.
“Oh my kids, lovely kids. I love them all. Great kids that are doing great things.” Sir, we asked for their names.
Yeah it's not a lie if you really really don't remember lol
Republicans are NOT in a Cult and TOTALLY think for Themselves and they BELIEVE this while wearing "Lock Her Up" shirts!
"I didn't say that forty thousand times during the 2016 election!"
That is a complete lie.
One of the memes that has followed Trump for almost a decade is “Lock her up!” Is he truly this lost that he forgot one of the things he ran for president (and won) chanting?
He truly believes his base doesn't care, and they don't.
We have always been at war with Eureast Asia.
Obligatory reminder that he didn't win the popular vote.
But yes you're spot on.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed in a new interview that he didn’t make a “lock her up” call for the imprisonment of his Democratic opponent of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton.
Trump, who faces the possibility of a prison sentence after he was convicted last week on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, was asked in an interview aired Sunday on Fox News about how he had “famously said… ‘lock her up’” in relation to Clinton but did not jail her when he was president.
Facts First: Trump’s claim that “I didn’t say ‘lock her up’” is false.
He called for Clinton’s imprisonment on multiple occasions, including by using the phrase “lock her up.”
Trump often used such rhetoric while criticizing Clinton’s email practices as secretary of state during the Obama administration, which prompted a federal investigation.
Trump also explicitly called for Clinton’s imprisonment using different phrasing.
The original article contains 415 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
What, if anything, has he ever claimed that was true?
How can someone with this big memory holes want to become president? Oh well, yeah, Olaf Scholz, oh. I'll shut up.
People are prone to follow false prophets, be it religious, political, arts, etc.
That's what dementia looks like...
Seit me denne
i just realized that Biden might pardon Trump lol
As much as I dislike this sentiment, historically speaking, it would be par for the course.
Both Trump and Clinton are known to have dined at the mansion of Epstein, on his pedophile island. We’re all supposed to sit back, and pick a side to support during election season, while we work our middle class jobs, and barely make enough to support ourselves? Why do we all have to take a backseat to this sh_tshow every four years? Why are we all second class citizens to this charade? We’re all lucky if we weren’t plucked from our beds in the 90’s to be held hostage at those shindigs, when we were little children.
Here's what even a casual search turned up about convicted liar Trump and paedophile enabler Epstein:
In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” adding that Epstein had a reputation for young women.
In one of the emails, summarized below by attorneys representing Alan Dershowitz, Ransome said her friend was one of “many girls” Trump had sex with, claimed the friend regularly had sex with Trump at Epstein’s mansion, and shared other NSFW details about Trump’s sexual proclivities:
