On Meet the Press this past Sunday, former New York City Mayor and current Trump stooge Rudy Giuliani got into the following back-and-forth with host Chuck Todd:
Giuliani: "And when you tell me that, you know, he (Trump) should testify because he's going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry, well that's so silly because it's somebody's version of the truth. Not the truth. He didn't have a, a conversation --"
Todd: "Truth is truth. I don't mean to go like --"
Giuliani: "No, it isn't truth. Truth isn't truth. The President of the United States said, 'I didn't --'"
This wasn't the first time someone affiliated with Donald Trump attempted to push such a narrative, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it.
Since even before his inauguration, Donald Trump has called most mainstream media outlets, "Fake news."
Kellyanne Conway has referred to lies purported by the president and members of his administration as "alternative facts."
Trump has stated something along the lines of, "What you're seeing isn't what's actually happening."
Not long before Giuliani declared that "truth isn't truth," he was quoted as saying, "Facts are in the eye of the beholder."
Never did I think we'd enter the post-truth realm of life, but here we are, at least to approximately 1/3 of the U.S. population. Up is down. Black is white. Sky is ground. Left is right. Given Giuliani's most recent quote, expect him to utter the following ridiculous lines in the future:
- "When it comes to Papadopoulos, Flynn, Gates, Manafort, and now Cohen, as a former lawyer, I can tell you first hand, guilt isn't guilt."
- "Why'd you mark this wrong, teach? The answer was C) and I put A)? But A) isn't A)!"
- "Excuse me, waiter? I ordered the chicken. This is chicken? No, no, no, chicken isn't chicken. These are pancakes."
- "Honey, where are you going? I'm not f*cking your sister! Remember what we talked about in Vegas that one time? Anal isn't anal!"
- "Officer, yes, the speed limit is 65, but you know as well as I that 65 isn't 65, right? 95, meanwhile, is 65."
