Trump Impeachment Lawyer Utters ‘Biggest Lie Ever’ Told On Senate Floor
Twitter users mockingly accused White House counsel Pat Cipollone of telling the “biggest lie ever” on the Senate floor after he vouched for Donald Trump during the president’s impeachment trial.
Cipollone, who is leading Trump’s defense, claimed Trump “is a man of his word” during the proceedings on Tuesday night.
The backlash came immediately.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell asked if it was the “most ridiculous thing ever said about Trump?” Other tweeters called it “sadly laughable” and the “funniest joke of this entire joke of an impeachment trial.”
Trump lawyer actually told the Senate:
“President Trump is a man of his word.”
Most ridiculous thing ever said about Trump?

“President Trump is a man of his word,” said the White House counsel. I didn’t know he’s a comedian.

Cipollone just said “President Trump is a man of his word” but I have to think, because it’s so early in the morning, I was actually dreaming that he said that and that a grown-ass man with self-respect did not just say that about a guy who just told his 16,000th lie as president

I felt discombobulated when Pat Cipollone said, #Trump is a man of his word. My first reaction was, did I hear him correctly. Immediately, a ball of sputum lounged in my pharynx because I couldn’t decide fast enough to laugh, cry or use curse words at my television. My cerebrum pic.twitter.com/2DuUH25LMv
