The White House is lying, and they know everyone knows that they’re lying – no one really thinks that Acosta assaulted or mishandled the woman he brushed against while she was trying to pull his mic away. But it doesn’t matter – it’s an exercise in domination and humiliation. That so many conservatives are going along with these obvious lies just shows how thoroughly so many of them have accepted Trump’s domination.
