Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave any doctors' groups come out to denounce that patently untrue scenario Trump described
in his latest rally where he told the crowd that doctors deliver babies, wrap them in a blanket, then discuss with the mother whether or not to "execute" them?
Is this not a huge insult to the medical profession that Trump insinuates they do this all the time to a newborn babies and that Democrats promote it?
Isn't there a group of ob/gyns or Pediatricians who should publicly state that Trump is wrong, this doesn't happen, and he is lying?

(32,003 posts)This statement is beyond hideous and untrue. He has no scruples, no empathy, is willfully ignorant and making statements like this should be called out by all sane news reporters and medical organizations. Its a flat out lie, and very dangerous to state to the morons of his base that believe anything he utters. Just figuring that its too hideous to be believed, is naive. His base thinks he is right about everything. I feel that by just letting it go, were becoming numb and accepting his dangerous bullshit and lies. Its worse than lies. He poisons peoples minds. I know it gets tiresome because theres always something shocking coming out of his pie hole. I guess I just refuse to give him a pass, as if its not that important.

(61,695 posts)They tell lies, even outrageous ones, over and over until people become cognitively exhausted, and the brain starts to accept the lies, even those we know are preposterous. "Well, there must be some element of truth, if he can keep saying this repeatedly and no one objects."

Its maddening trying to fact check people who have irrational beliefs like these. Its also impossible.
