Actually Cheney didn’t lie directly. She deliberately misled and Bret Baier wasn’t smart enough to pick up on it. She said Trump never “ordered” 20,000 National Guard troops. He didn’t. He “authorized” 20,000 troops to be called if a request came in for them. But no one requested the troops. Not Pelosi, not the Capital Police, not the DC police, not Muriel Bowser, not anyone. And Cheney damn well knows this. If Baier wasn’t so stupid, and blinded by his Trump hatred, he would have asked her why her committee hasn’t called the people who could have requested the 20,000 troops Trump authorized, and ask them why they didn’t request the troops. But of course that didn’t happen since it was a hack journalist interviewing a scumbag politician.
You’re absolutely right.
