Who are the real liars?

I am responding to Terence Vent’s June 30 letter (“The lie-deological divide”). He states Donald Trump is a liar and a Democrat. Well, if he is a Democrat, he is governing like a Republican. As far as lying goes, it all depends on who you listen to. The liberal media so hates Trump that they are the real liars. According to the media, Trump is so evil he should have been in prison for decades. Instead he is a successful billionaire who is now our president.

This same media silently stood by while Obama chipped away at our basic rights. I think Obama’s presidency so repulsed Trump that Trump need to change. My dad also was a lifelong Democrat and went through a similar transformation during President Carter’s disastrous administration. After Carter, he became a staunch Republican. He always said, “Jimmy Carter educated him.” This didn’t make my dad a liar. It just made him wiser.

Also, Mr. Vent accuses Sarah Sanders of being a habitual liar. He’s OK with her being kicked out of a restaurant. This is how the Nazi’s treated the Jews. This is how it starts. Isn’t this how

African-Americans used to be treated? Where is the outrage?
