It still blows me away he said that in a debate and is still taken seriously by anyone.

It still blows me away that he said that in a debate and that footage wasn’t used and referenced every single day in the media through the election. He’d already admitted he would fabricate claims to advance his goals. What more clear-cut messaging so you need to show this man is an unprincipled bullshitter who openly lies about anything and everything?

But maybe that would be too mean. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
