The Harris campaign national co-chair, in an interview with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, pointed to Trump’s recent claim that he attracted a larger crowd at his Jan. 6, 2021 rally than Martin Luther King Jr. did for his “I Have A Dream” speech on the National Mall in 1963.
“Now, if you just want to know if someone’s cray-cray, all you need to do is pull up the pictures and look for yourself,” said Landrieu of the former president’s claim at his rambling Mar-a-Lago press conference on Thursday.
Landrieu noted that Trump “clocked in at over 150 lies” at the hour-plus-long presser.
“I don’t understand, and I’m with you and I know you’re gonna do this a little bit later, why the press didn’t clean his clock during that press conference,” said Landrieu, who joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell in criticizing reporters that attended the Trump presser.
He called on reporters to “really fact check” Trump in real time.
“So the answer is those were real crowds and facts are facts and lies are lies, so we can leave it at that for the day,” he said.
