Summary

The lies and deflections from Republicans defending Trump have spun up the ire of "Words Matter" co-host Norm Ornstein.

Instead, both recount the facts surrounding the case for which Trump was arraigned this week and the likely cases to come and frankly, the outrage only grows. Join them to understand why it is fully justified. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
