MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinksi and panelists Donny Deutsche and Eugene Robinson commented Tuesday morning on FOX Business host Stuart Varney holding the position that while President Trump "spins and exaggerates" he does not lie.



"That guy just threw himself away like that?" Mika Brzezinski wondered.





"This is like a comedy version of '1984.' If they decided to do 1984, the comedy," Scarborough said. "Talk about double-speak."



"I’m not a psychologist," MSNBC's Donny Deutsch commented. "You just wonder... These Trump supporters, have they somehow delusionally talked themselves into it or is it the performance art and they go, 'This is what I do, I'm here, this is not really news.' Is it just like theater?"



"He knows he's lying," Scarborough said. "But not only that, he knows that we know he is lying."



"The Clintons, when they lied, they were really good liars," Scarborough said. "You would say to yourself, 'Okay, I know they’re lying, but I’m not exactly sure how they’re lying on this one. They’re hiding the ball. I don’t know where it is. They keep moving the cups around so fast, I can’t pick up the right one. It’s all so confusing. But I know they're lying.' You knew the Clintons were lying. Bernie Nussbaum would come in and testify on the Hill, and you'd know he was lying but it took three or four years to figure out how they were lying. These people are just really, really bad liars."



"It's for an audience of one," MoveOn.org's Karine Jean-Pierre observed.
