In America it should be OK to question anyone in authority, especially when they lie.

Quote:
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told a reporter Friday that it would be “highly inappropriate” to get into a debate with “a four-star Marine general” over whether he misstated facts.
Quote:
A video of her speech at the ceremony showed Wilson did not take credit for securing the money. She instead spent about two minutes of a nine-minute speech recalling the effort that she led in Congress to name the building for the agents, whom she praised effusively in her remarks.

I don't know if he "lied" or not. This whole thing is a political mud-slinging contest.

In any event, question everything and everyone. Silly statement from the WH.

Go watch the video. Go read what he said.

He lied. Its plain and simple. The question is was it intentional and knowing.

This isn't about whether he lied or not. It's about questioning the general.

And I think we have the same stance here, no?

So let's celebrate that miracle and not fight over the other stuff.

Huckabee is lying again with her evangelical self. How can This woman look herself in the mirror? She is a fraud just like the moron she takes orders from.

Kelly lied.

Sanders said we shouldn't question him because he's a four-star general.

What a crock.

well we can be pretty sure if it were a liberal general you would likely be very fast to call it lie.


reading the various threads that touch on this one can see right wingers saying "mistake" when the very same right wingers call good honest reporters liars day after day after day.

If being wrong makes you a liar than Kelly is a big old liar. Otherwise No Recess you need to give reporters, dems cons etc the benefit of the doubt too.

i would add Kelly is chief of staff if he is going to the podium without having his staff fact check his comments then he is not doing his job like a professional. Hell my partner reviews used to review my mails before sending them to big clients to ensure everything was in order..

The reporters in the room need to figure out better countermeasures to her tricks. she is forever patently lying , dismissing real questions and saying she will find out later (when she can make up a good answer)

We know this is a sneaky White House because they are hiding the visitor lists...

Army vet. American citizen. I will damn well question the General if I see fit. He don't like it, he can get out of public office.
