During Donald Trump’s press briefing yesterday–which was ostensibly supposed to be about a Middle East peace deal but was instead just another government-funded anti-Biden campaign rally–one reporter finally asked the question we’ve all been waiting to hear: Does he regret all the lies?
“Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you’ve done to the American people, on everything?” asked HuffPost senior White House Correspondent S.V. Dáte.
“All the what?” Trump responded.
Dáte: “All the lying. All the dishonesties.”
Trump: “That who has done?”
Dáte: “You have done.”
“Uhhh … Yeah, go ahead, please,” Trump said, pointing to another reporter.

To be fair, this wasn’t the first time Trump has been called on a lie in the briefing room. Just last week, CBS’s Paula Reid asked him why he kept lying about having passed the veteran’s healthcare program Veterans Choice. He wouldn’t answer and she wouldn’t drop it, so he just walked out and started blasting The Village People. It was weird.
That was really commendable, as was Dáte’s decision to call Trump out on all the lies. Because really, how do you pick just one? If you could call Trump on a lie, would you choose one of his many statements about the coronavirus—from how well we as a country are handling testing to the notion that children are “almost immune” to the virus to his refusal to give up hydroxychloroquine as a cure? His false claims about the booming economy? Or what about his constant lies about mail-in voting? Or the many lies he told about Joe Biden in just this very press conference? Where do you start?

I have two questions for professional journalists: how much gray must be sucked from your skull to quality for your profession and does it hurt?

A Mary Sue is a character who is so perfect that he or she warps the world around them to display their perfection. It seems as though nothing in this universe except Mary Sue is even real, and is instead a plot device to make Mary Sue seem flawless and loved. A Mary Sue can destroy a piece of writing or media, since the characters existence will often forcibly make the world and people around them defy logic to simply display how amazingly radiant they are.
I think that it’s called the Saul Alinsky effect.
I won’t express what I think they should do to him. Best not to do it here.
Classic when did you stop beating your wife.
Isaw this as it happened. The President did exactly right by ignoring this guy. My answer would have been “Have you stopped beating your wife”?
RE: My answer would have been “Have you stopped beating your wife?
How can a single person answer that?
:)
No bias there. Nope. Why not just eliminate the questions like Biden’s campaign does.
He should have punched the snot out of that a$$hole
He needs to ask the Clintons that question and then wait to be killed.
Pull his/her/its credentials PERMANENTLY. Pull the employer’s credentials until 4 years after the NEXT election.
F’EM
The white house should revoke his press credentials for his rude question, until he can provide a list of the tens of thousands of lies he claims Trump told.
The antifa of journalists.
No respect for anything.
“but was instead just another government-funded anti-Biden campaign rally”
Yeah, no bias here at all. None whatsoever.

I saw it too and was white hot.....I wish the President would go back to his old ways and tell this asshat what a dumb and stupid question.....what a stupid question. Is there anything saying he or Kayleigh have to call on these idiots like Acosta, Reid and others from pretend networks passing off as being media?
I used to work with such a woman; an insufferable bitch to boot. I once heard her say, "I don't believe anything so-and-so says, because I caught her in a lie once, and if a person will lie once he'll lie again."
I couldn't resist the temptation to say, "Have you ever lied?"
People are waking up. While the left was hoping for harm - they over played their hand. They continues to do so. These reporters are in an echo chamber so they have zero clue they have turned off many of thousands of voters. Their outrageous behavior has created the Walkaway movement.
Not to mention he made himself look like a childish idiot.
I sure hope nothing happens to Mr. S.V. Dáte who totally disrespected our president, his supporters and our country.
