Cory Booker says DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "lied under oath" to CongressBy EMILY TILLETT CBS NEWS January 17, 2018, 10:38 AM
Following his explosion at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Capitol Hill Tuesday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, told "CBS This Morning" that he believes Nielsen "lied under oath" and was not "telling the truth" about details surrounding a vulgar exchange during an Oval Office meeting on immigration last week.
"She was an American citizen under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee and she pretended like she didn't remember, she couldn't remember what the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief, her boss was saying. She didn't remember Lindsey Graham, who challenged the president on his vile words yesterday," Booker said Wednesday. "It was so offensive to me that she lied under oath."
He called Nielsen's testimony "a lie" and a "sham," and he wondered, "Why would an American under oath lie? To protect their job?"

Impossible.

The republican party and the whole right wing Fox/hate radio propaganda organs are based on lies.
The only way to deal with it is to destroy the party as a national force. We need a blue tsunami this fall.
That's a start. Nothing else will do.

Turtle should have been arrested for that but of course he got away with it.
Just like all these Dump admin lying traitor criminal republicans will probably be allowed to get away with their crimes when democrats take over again.
