Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Monday ripped President Trump on Twitter, saying that he has an “indifference to the truth."

Yates, an Obama appointee who was suddenly fired from her post in January after refusing to defend Trump’s travel ban, tweeted Tuesday morning that “normalizing” the president’s false statements would be “dangerous.”

“We can’t let POTUS’s complete indifference to truth become ours,” she tweeted. “Constant barrage may be exhausting, but normalizing it is too dangerous.”

This is a rare appearance from Yates on Twitter — she has only tweeted seven times since joining the website in June, and the majority of her posts have condemned the president’s actions.

1. The GOP has been lying for decades. Trump just elevated lying to an art form.

Until our leaders start telling the truth and facing reality, our outlook is not good.

2. She's wrong. He's not indifferent. He's actively hostile to truth. nt
