George Conway, a prominent conservative lawyer and the husband of former Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway, launched into a powerful rant against the president’s habit of pointless, absurd, and delusional lies Wednesday night.
He seemed to be inspired by the president’s false claim that the sentencing of Paul Manafort, his former campaign chair who is facing about 7.5 years in jail for crimes arising out of the Russia investigation, proved that there “no collusion.” In fact, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said at the sentencing that “collusion” hasn’t been addressed because the investigation is still ongoing. But Conway was also baffled at the president’s effort to lie about his recent slip of the tongue when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple.”
“Have we ever seen this degree of brazen, pathological mendacity in American public life?” Conway wrote on Twitter. “One day he makes a harmless slip of the tongue, something any mentally balanced person would laugh off.”
