Ginni Thomas is not a liar

One, is about the nature of the “Big Lie.” The phrase itself is a reflection of a mindset common among people, including journalists, alarmed by the efforts to overturn an election. The assumption is that by sharpening language — by stating crisply and emphatically that Trump’s election claims are false — it will make it harder for those falsehoods to gain currency. Many news organizations have showily dropped traditional mushy language like “disputed” or “disproven” in favor of phrases like “Trump’s lie” in their election coverage. It’s a reasonable choice. But the effect of this tell-it-like-it-is coverage isn’t especially impressive.

Thomas shows that it has scant effect on her — or tens of millions of people like her. To the contrary, she almost certainly is more motivated in her beliefs because people she holds in contempt among Democrats or establishment media tell her the opposite is true.

Whatever one thinks about Ginni Thomas, the texts are the work of someone who believes she is a truth-teller, not a liar. “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!,” Thomas wrote Meadows. “You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”
