MSNBC journalists suffered another meltdown on Tuesday. This time, Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace demanded that a “truth teller” be placed at every Donald Trump event to combat his "lies." Reacting to the President’s briefing with the Prime Minister of Sweden, Wallace excoriated: “Nothing he says is true.”
Don't MSNBC reporters already exist as Trump’s official opposition? The host continued her freak out: “You know how there's always a signer at any event, someone signs for the deaf? I think there should be a truth teller in the corner of every Trump event who is sort of holding a scroll and sort of saying ‘lie.’”
She demanded, “Hold up the gymnastics scores. Lie. I mean, literally, I’ve never seen anything like it.” Earlier, she offered this variation: “You almost need the bottom third sort of with the flashing red light. ‘Nothing he says is true, nothing he says is true.’”
Last week, MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle freaked out that “lying” Trump’s “strange” speech to CPAC was like dictators from Cuba and Venezuela.

He lied to a Swedish reporter today. I don't know if that ends up at the ICC or not. We are not some global leader in steel production. You looked it up, you know, before the show. We make five percent of the steel -- I mean, you know, the '80s are calling and they want all their political fights back.

WALLACE: You know how there's always a signer at any event, someone signs for the deaf? I think there should be a truth teller in the corner of every Trump event who is, you know, sort of holding a scroll and sort of saying ‘lie.’ Or, you know, like, he wants everything in handwriting. Hold up the gymnastics scores. Lie. I mean, literally, I’ve never seen anything like it!
