CNN pundit Van Lathan is shocked, SHOCKED, at Krasnov's ties to the far right.

CNN Pundit Says ‘We Were Lied To’ About Trump’s Far-Right Ties (The Daily Beast)

THEY’RE REICH BEHIND YOU!

Van Lathan’s comments on Saturday came after the president fired national security personnel on the advice of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer earlier this week.

A political pundit on CNN has accused the president of “lying” to the American people about his ties to the far-right.

“This is the worst fear of a lot of people, who just to be honest with you, were gaslit and told that there was no connection between Donald Trump and white nationalism,” Van Lathan said during a Saturday appearance on Table for Five.

A 9/11 truther, self-described “pro-white nationalist,” and “proud Islamophobe,” Loomer reportedly singled out several of the now-fired aides for perceived disloyalty to Trump during an Oval Office discussion during which National Security Adviser Mike Waltz was also present.

4. Trump is really good at this-- he lies all the time, and changes to new lies and sometimes lets out the stinky truths-

And the "smart guys" think they can interpret which of the lies are really important and what he really means underneath the lie.
You know, like he says Putin is his friend and Macron is his enemy, and he's in love with Kim Jong Un.
and the smart guys say, "Oh, that means he actually supports NATO and is tricking the dictators! He's SO TRICKY!"

So of course it's a shock for them to have to face that... he's really a liar and a traitor.

5. Nah. I think the "smart guys" know exactly what he's doing. They're lying when they say they're surprised.
