Ah, those precious few Democrats skilled in the art of the political shiv. A flagrant, public stab-in-the-back assertion that is breathtakingly untrue, and intended by the sheer audacity of it being spoken to eclipse the original fact it is meant to conceal and replace.
So polished and practiced in their perfidy, there's no requirement for veracity in the initial attack nor shame afterward when and if the lie is exposed.
The effectiveness of the kill stroke is what matters, and the reputation of the assassin is only enhanced even more.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has no regrets with falsely accusing Mitt Romney of paying zero taxes for ten years during the 2012 presidential elections.
“So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for ten years,” Reid said on the Senate floor in August 2012. “Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t.”
Some, like the late Harry Reid, are legendary for their ruthless, unrepentant willingness to spin the slime needed to achieve the objective.
And allow themselves a smug victory gloat afterwards.
...“Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid said. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
The last remaining practitioner of this ancient art left standing in Washington is probably Nancy Pelosi. I can't think of anyone who manipulates people, situations, and the truth as effortlessly as she does.
No one in the current Democrat hierarchy even comes close to her deft, iron-fisted narrative control, nor looks as if they ever will.
Her hip apparently on the mend, and the unpleasantness with the palace coup she initiated cast aside, Pelosi stepped back into the spotlight yesterday to practice her dark art, smearing her perpetual nemesis as an authoritarian dictator on a rampage.
.@SpeakerPelosi: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture." pic.twitter.com/yHfezvqNf6

Oddly enough, I don't remember it exactly that way.
Curiously enough, neither do lots of other folks.
FACT: On January 6, I was restricted by Federal Law (2US1970) from bringing in ANY federal support, including the National Guard, without first receiving permission from the Capitol Police Board, which included both Sergeants at Arms who reported to Pelosi and McConnell.… https://t.co/Hg7nn0iAuH

This is just an absolute bald face lie.
This is the former Speaker -- leader of your party. Third in line to the Presidency.
She KNOWS she is lying.
How do you justify such duplicity? https://t.co/I2CHjXYdlb
NOW SHE LIES THROUGH HER PLASTIC TEETH
OMG this is the most egregious lie! Nancy has outdone herself in foul mendacity. It was actually Donald Trump in Jan. 2021 who urged the use of the National Guard to manage the huge crowd coming to DC for the last rally of his first term. And it was Nancy Pelosi as Speaker who… https://t.co/SYtIanIbxd

...And it was Nancy Pelosi as Speaker who ignored the increasing frantic pleas from Capitol police chief @ChiefSund for backup. She and Muriel Boswer made sure it didn't happen. Nancy left the outnumbered Capitol Police like sitting ducks to satisfy her obsession to destroy Donald Trump. She hurt a lot of people. And now she lies through her plastic teeth and blames him.
But.
Something, something, something, Trump.
🚨 Documents prove President Trump requested National Guard on Jan 6. The Pentagon delayed Trump's request, and then Jo Biden, Kamala Harris, their administration, Nancy Pelosi, and the Jan 6 Committee hid the evidence and lied about it.pic.twitter.com/xjTFSUSt8s pic.twitter.com/nAZvjhVInH

What makes the accusation worse is that Nancy Pelosi herself had something to do with the lack of National Guard, as *checks notes* Nancy Pelosi herself admitted.
Uh huh pic.twitter.com/ZCWxgs2Y68

But the former Speaker marched out there regardless, to spin this yarn, this whopper of a history rewrite for the cameras in order to reinforce the current law-breaking, riot-encouraging, illegal immigrant-embracing narrative.
Only...this isn't 2020 with a friendly social media-induced blackout anymore.
The gaslighting rewrites and creative history won't and don't work anymore.
According to this article Governor George Wallace was a Republican. They actually re-write history based on their current day political biases. What a disgrace for The Washington Post.

When have presidents called in the National Guard to quell domestic unrest?…
For every new retelling of old events, there is an instant avalanche of video and documents in immediate refutation.
For every attempted whitewashing of current events playing out before our eyes, there is an instantaneous truth cascade.

A definitive, narrative-crushing side-by-side rebuttal of Democrat fantasy versus fact.
The old shiv-masters and their scurrilous skills will be a dying breed, as more and more victims of the smears become adept at turning the tables on an attack with the same laser-focused social media ferocity.
The Trump White House is a prime example of that right now. The target pops up, and they neutralize it before it can grow, less mind metastasize.
Look what the Trump team did to Newsom's 'nobody called ME about no National Guard.'
There was no call. Not even a voicemail.

Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to. https://t.co/y7TJUhUZGI
It's called 'dropping the receipts.'

Oh, this new world where the average American has access to it ALL, not just the selected bits a manipulative elite chooses to feed them, has to be maddening for those who have been so accustomed to owning the battle space unhindered and unquestioned.
The faces on the players on the progressive Democratic side might not have changed very much in five years, but the entire scenario has shifted 180° in terms of the effectiveness of their old game plan.
Only, it doesn't seem as if they have realized it's a brave new world outside their bubble yet.
That's okay, as we're more than ready to handle anything.
And we know for sure they're not, especially the truth.
