Challenge them on the facts, but Trump voters rely more on their feelings and what Trump says "feels right".

“I don’t have the ability to pull up video. It happened.” So even when shown video that proves they are lying, they continue to lie.

What she read?, she was just shown the actual interview, divorced from reality and common sense.

Doubles down on the lying, won't admit she's wrong.

Pulls it out of her ass and calls it the truth.

I don't know who she is in real life but she plays a lying shitstain on tv.

Beyond disgusting.

Where did she read it that would be more credible than Jeh Johnson? UNLESS, the argument is that the former DHS secretary is a lying librul.

Hmmmmm, let me just mull this over and decide what her source might be... Perhaps her ass?

and walked out of there as if she had made her point.

The interviewers need to be more bold and simply tell them "you are lying, where are your facts, can you please produce facts?"

These people have tunnels through their ears, and facts go in one ear and out the other.

This should be required watching for any on-air media person, it shows how interviews need to be done in the age of the constant lies from drumpf and his russian repug minions.

function in this nation. Things are said and either poorly challenged or not at all. News Teams should be on standby more often and ready to present factual refutations like that.

Love the "tweet it" line.
