It’s Kellyanne Conway, the former senior advisor for Trump. Her job was basically to hold the press releases and try to keep the good PR going.
She’s the one that coined the term “alternative facts” when pressed about Trump’s team being proven to have lied about key topics.
Thank you for your actual response. Some people are too immature to subjectively help others understand.
You bet. And to be more specific, the “alternative facts” part came from a discussion about the size of Trump’s inauguration. Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer repeatedly touted that Trump had the largest inauguration in history. When that was proven false, (Obama’s had a bigger crowd,) the reporter mentioned something along the lines of “well the facts say that Trump’s wasn’t the largest. Why would Spicer (the press secretary at the time) utter known falsehoods?” And Kellyanne retorted with something along the lines of “He wasn’t lying; He was simply giving alternative facts.”
It was one of the big times that democrats realized the White House would just straight up lie through their teeth about anything and they didn’t care if people believed it.
I don't know much... But I imagine after alternative facts and whole lot devious claims that made the audience believe that storming the capitol was going be without consequences... or that Trump would never face judgement...
This is how they would explain the sentencing or Trump's trial...
It's fine, we'll just send him to alternative jail
