basically call other Senators liars?

What have we come to when senators will lie and cover up for a traitorous racist just because they share the letter r after their name?

weighing their options. Finally decided trump was, once again, so ghastly that the only way to deal with it is to lie. A party of scheming criminals.

now they are sure trump didn't say that.

they are LIARS.

What next?

When 2 of them both start out with a wishy-washy "I can't recall" then both conveniently change to "he didn't say it", they are BOTH LYING.

The question should turn to why they are so easily manipulated.

The RWer Erick Erickson's tweet observing that Trump called people to boast that the comments would go over well with his base support it.

The only thing Trump (Putin) is trying to do is obfuscate and create a false 'reality' for his Trumpsters where no one can be sure if he really said it or not.

Bullshit. I would bet a paycheck on it.

There is only disagreement as to what is the most politically expedient way to remember it in public.

Cotton and Perdue choose to give a version they think will be of advantage to them. Durbin took the path of simplicity, and just repeated exactly what he heard. Notice that the lowlifes never specifically say what they DID hear--they just claim what they "don't recall" having heard.

"The truth is whatever you want it to be."
