'An avalanche of lies': Trump's Arizona speech slapped aside by CNN host

Raw Story  

The morning after Donald Trump rehashed all of his complaints about the 2020 presidential election that saw him lose to President Joe Biden and then attacked fellow Republicans, a CNN host dismissed his words as an "avalanche of lies." During the speech, the president also asserted that his "Stop the Steal" rally crowd was massive, telling the crowd, "They talk about the people that walked down to the Capitol, They don't talk about the size of that crowd. After sharing clips of Trump's ranting about critics within his own party who aren't buying into his election lies, host Abby Phillip cut to the chase and also noted the former president's defense of the Capitol insurrectionists. "I don't actually recommend people listen to the avalanche of lies last night," she stated, "but it's notable how much effort went into defending these January 6th defendants and saying that they were being held as political prisoners.
