Law & Crime reports:
The senior legal adviser of President Donald Trump’s campaign shared a quote on Twitter that was falsely attributed to former president Theodore Roosevelt. The critical response was immediate and efforts were quickly made to clean up the mess, but that only made things worse.
Multiple Twitter users pointed out Ellis’s clumsy use of the debunked meme overnight. By mid-morning on Wednesday, the Trump campaign’s top legal mind was backtracking. Instead of focusing on minor issues like historical accuracy, Ellis argued, the content of the quotation is what’s really important.

For people asking, this quotation has been attributed to Roosevelt, but there isn’t a specific record of him saying this in a speech. I posted it because the ifea itself is true, whether or not he said it! 🙂

So basically, just like the way you operate in court.

So, if I understand you correctly, your point is that the truth is irrelevant to the pursuit of the truth. Fascinating.

You also quote fake laws so it’s pretty on brand.

It’s not true but it sounds good—the Trump Credo. Where are you admitted to practice law? https://t.co/un1b7km3ip

For people asking, this quote has been attributed to Jenna Ellis, but there isn’t a specific record of her saying it. The idea of her saying it is true! 🙂 pic.twitter.com/pM6qCEa1zd

“I’m an incredibly bad lawyer.” ~ Jenna Ellis Esq. This quote has been attributed to Jenna Ellis, although there isn’t a specific record of her saying it. The “ifea” itself is true, however.

This basically sums up MAGA’s relationship to the truth: “I know it’s not true, but IT FEELS TRUE TO ME, so I said it anyway.”

I keep getting a barrage of threats & false accusations from Dems and “reporter” activists.
My only comment is this: Do your worst. I’m not intimidated. I won’t back down. My mission is Truth, my God is the Lord Jesus Christ, and my client is the President of the United States.
