Why would anyone make such outrageous stmts in that venue KNOWING they were patently false? Its VERY easy to verify and think thru. The only idea that comes to mind is she thinks no one else knows they’re false, she doesn;t know any better or her grip on reality is tenuous. You just dont lie on that level w/o some big problems behind the scenes. Slick WIlly was the same way as is Barry Soetoro and ORomney. DC is populated w/ these types and few in fly over country seems to get it. The laugh is on us folks.
It's not meant to be truth. In fact, it's meant to be obviously wrong. You're looking at the use of cognitive dissonance as a control methodology. Followers are denied any trace of reasonable deniability, by being forced to support something that is patently stupid and outrageous. Why? Enforced loyalty. They have nowhere to go except each other, and cannot even discuss issues with those not in the group.
It's a Hillary thing. The whole Nazi Will To Power, where loyalty alone, not reason or logic or even common sense, is the foundation for the movement. It creates psychological slaves who get ever deeper into the endless lies, so that they can never escape. Extremism then becomes the hold on the followers - if something is reasonable, it can be thought about, and that would break the spell, the hold, on unthinking obedience.
Pelosi's a drooling idiot, but her handlers aren't. She's a zombie mouthpiece for pure evil.
Uhhh - because she knows the press will report it as fact and half the populace will accept it and they aren’t smart enough to critically examine the statement
