It hardly matters what the topic of the discussion was because these two fabulists couldn&#8217;t be bothered to do anything but distort reality and malign Democrats in general, and President Biden in particular. And so it was when Conway unleashed this unhinged harangue&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Joe Biden, he has this way&#8230;Jen Psaki&#8230;of playing the blaming game, maim and shame nonsense of Washington. But it would rely on the American people believing it. And they\u2019ve lost credibility not just in their message, in their messengers. You know, Laura, I like to say the Democrats don\u2019t have &#8211; this administration doesn\u2019t have &#8211; a messaging problem. They have a fact problem. And it&#8217;s reflected in the polls.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kellyanne claims Biden and Psaki have lost their credibility and says they have a fact problem <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fXegv1sVKb\">pic.twitter.com\/fXegv1sVKb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1502123098891382784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 11, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Biden&#8217;s blame, shame, maim, claim to fame is just more of the same from this lame dame. <em>[See, two can play that rhyming game]<\/em> But nothing could more cravenly defame <em>[Okay, I&#8217;ll stop now]<\/em> the President than a fact check by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=33657\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mistress of Alternative Facts<\/a><\/strong> herself. Conway coined that phrase when confronted with the blatant lies spewed by Trump&#8217;s first press secretary, Sean Spicer, about what he laughably tried to pass off as <em>&#8220;the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.&#8221;<\/em> For the record, it wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>It is, of course, hysterical that Conway is now criticizing Biden, and his press secretary, Jen Psaki, who has distinguished herself as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=jen-psaki\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an eminently qualified, brilliant, and yes, honest<\/a><\/strong> public servant.

It&#8217;s something she may have picked up from her former boss, Donald Trump, who did &#8211; and still does &#8211; the very same thing. In fact <em>[that word again]<\/em>, Trump was whining much of Friday morning about an interview he did with a couple of YouTube sycophants wherein he regurgitated his <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> that the 2020 election was <em>&#8220;rigged,&#8221;<\/em> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52253\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and ranted incoherently about windmills<\/a><\/strong> having something to do with Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube deleted the video because it <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fullsendpodcast\/status\/1502105349221806081\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">violated their terms of service<\/a><\/strong> that clearly state that <em>\u201cContent that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election is not allowed on YouTube.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In response to YouTube removing his lie-riddled video, Trump complained that <em>\u201cWe don\u2019t have a free press. This is what they do in Russia.\u201d<\/em> Then he had his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51685\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong> post a rambling <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1502284765688389643\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> &#8211; three times &#8211; that asked <em>&#8220;Whatever happened to free speech in our Country?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Clearly Trump doesn&#8217;t know the meaning of the constitutional protection of a <em>&#8220;free press,&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s a constraint on infringements imposed by Congress. YouTube, however, is a private enterprise, and they have the freedom to set and enforce their own rules.
