Virtually every morning, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough vociferously reject the notion that they're in the tank for Donald Trump. And it's true that in word and print they can occasionally be critical of him. But on today's Morning Joe, Mika came up with an odd defense to the assertion that Trump often lies: "He's not just blurting out outright lies--he's kind of making people think in some ways." Um, okay.
Mika's odd formulation came in response to the allegation by guest Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama Defense Department official with expertise on Russia, who has a current Politico piece suggesting that Trump and Putin are "two liars separated at birth." On the show, Farkas claimed that with Trump "there is sort of lie after lie" to the point she considers him "dangerous for democracy." That prompted Mika's response that he ain't lying, he's making us think.

Mika: Trump ain’t lyin’—he’s making us think.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Uh, no Ms. Farkas that would be Hillary! and Joe Isuzu.
yeah that’s it
As most politicians would say “We can’t have people thinking now can we?”.
“What luck for rulers that men do not think.” Adolf Hitler
” Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama Defense Department official with expertise on Russia”
Sounds like an unbiased source. /sarc
Hows that new Cold War workin out for ya?
Obama lost Egypt. They were the only real ally we had over there.
First he stabbed Hosni in the back and installed Morsi, then the Egyptian people protested kicked Morsi out and Obama cut off sales of weapons to Egypt. Gen Al Sisi now shops in Moscow.
Obama is dangerous and stupid. And Egypt isn’t the only good ally Obama treats like dirt. Ask the Israelis.
...in response to the allegation by guest Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama Defense Department official......and one of the favorite people of members of Ted Cruz' fan club.
Well if Mika says Trump isn’t lying then it must be true. s/
Trump does make people think!
