"I don't know Matt Whitaker, I don't know Matt Whitaker". Donald Trump about the man he just appointed AG, Nov. 2018
Two proactive conflicting statements by one person, with one vocabulary, one month apart.
One of the two conflicting statements is false -- no personal opinion or pointless semantics exercise changes that objective reality. But, I don't care if anyone chooses to believe otherwise.
I can say I know you guys and I can similarly say I don't know you.
ie)
"I know HairofTheDog. She posts with me on a forum called Mockforums. She is a snowflake. She talks a lot of craps and is dishonest as Hell. She does that virtue signaling and has a propensity to accuse people of being rape apologists and the like if they do not agree with her ideological positions. She is a moron"
Is THAT a lie?
OR
"No, I don't know HairofTheDog and don't care to know her. She is really just disembodied words on a screen. Straqnge thoughts attached to a strange avatar"
Is THIS a lie?
I cold claim to know or not know someone and even a month apart AND be true.
It would be silly to claim otherwise and I hope no one here is THAT silly.
