"It is a mark of our time, in this second coming of the Trump regime, that Trump’s lies are no longer surprising. His lying is so expected that I doubt we’ll see any media outlet attempting to quantify them as they did during his first term. Today, the lies aren’t just spewing from Trump’s mouth during rants at rallies or late night insomnia-induced tirades on social media."

"We can't even call it spin at this point. This is outright blatant lying. And we have video evidence to know what is true and what is false.

But we have the president himself painting Rene Good as a domestic terrorist, a radical leftist. lying about her trying to ram an ICE agent with her car and do harm."

"They are now propagating on official government websites from the Oval Office to the Department of Homeland Security to the National Park Service to the Centers for Disease Control. We now must accept that nothing we read on official government websites can be trusted. ...

If we trace the chain of events that caused ICE agents to be deployed to Minneapolis in the first place, they are anchored in Trump’s lies."

"Everything that this administration has done thus far has been premised on a lie. They got into office on a lie. And this crackdown on undocumented immigrants is based on a lie that we are being invaded. And so U.S. citizens are dying. And at this point, it shouldn't matter whether it's a U.S. citizen, not a U.S. citizen."

"When Trump was asked to provide evidence to back up his claim that Good had 'viciously' run over the agent, he showed New York Times journalists a video that didn’t show the agent being run over. When this was pointed out, Trump responded: 'Well, I … the way I look at it,' before the Times reported that he appeared to trail off."
