I see what you mean, and I agree the writer failed to use quotation marks around the word “lies”.
Vos was speaking in terms of Clinton-level lies versus Trump “lies”. For example, who cares if TRUMP saw really and literally “thousands” of Arabs dancing in the streets of New York City after 911.
Compare his exaggerated quantifying terms with that of evil Hillary’s pay-to-play lying and cover up and her wicked ommissions of truth and facts ... every.time.she.opens.her.mouth.
I dunno know if he forgot to put quotation marks or if he was virtue signaling.
It’s frustating that a lot of these conservative ‘intellectuals’ seem to be incapable of criticizing Hillary without getting in a cheap shot or two on Trump below the belt.
