In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, responded to comments from Donald Trump who quipped that she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her. Jeffries countered: That's a disgusting comment and the president's lies and misinformation continue to fan the flames of these types of violent incidents.

For an inveterate liar, Donald Trump is remarkably honest. The best guide to what he thinks is what he says.
