Take on the easily refuted claim

James Hohmann reporter today that 

In a 1-minute stretch, Trump says 69,000 people RSVP'd to be at his rally in El Paso tonight. Then he says the arena holds 8k, but the fire department got 10k in. Then he says "tens of thousands of people" are watching screens outside. Then he says says he's got 30,000 ppl here.



Of course the newspapers immoderately asked the fire department who said that the arena of holds 6500 and they didn't allow any additional people inside.   But this is Trump, he can lie about anything and we forget after five minutes but if Elizabeth Warren repeats some family lore, she's lambasted for it for the rest of her career.  See Trump gets away with it because everybody assumes they he's a lying weasel and they don't care for a second and watching this debacle makes my hair hurt. 


Mueller, the time is now.
