American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp went on CNN last night to speak with Chris Cuomo about CPAC. The subject of President Donald Trump came up and they ended up getting heated over whether Trump is a liar.

After that appearance, Schlapp doubled down on his defense of Trump with a dig at the media, saying that when they call POTUS a liar, “they make it impossible for 50 % of the country to see you as unbiased.”

Brian you do realize when media calls our president a liar they make it impossible for 50 % of the country to see you as unbiased. https://t.co/EAaB4bTyT0 — Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) March 2, 2019

This morning, George Conway––husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway––responded by pointing out that Trump’s own supporters know he’s a liar:

Oh, stop it. Even his die-hard supporters (who certainly don’t number 50 percent) know he’s a liar. They just don’t care. https://t.co/VGyewCSu5u — George Conway (@gtconway3d) March 2, 2019
