Okayyy.

Pennsylvania's former Republican Senator and political commentator Rick Santorum stunned a CNN panel on Wednesday night with his defense of President Donald Trump's and his associates' lies regarding the Trump camp's relationship with Russia.

Host Anderson Cooper asked Santorum what the explanation for so many lies about Russia could be. His answer is quite something.


Santorum said:

"The President doesn't tell the truth about a lot of things fairly consistently, so the fact that he's not telling the truth about Russia fairly consistently—at least in the eyes of people around here. Why is that any different? It's not like he's doing something out of character with the Russia investigation that he's not doing in other areas...According to what I hear on this round table and the network, he lies about everything all the time."

Watch below:

Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was stunned, asking Santorum incredulously, "Is that really—Is that really the best defense you can come up with? The fact that 'Oh he lies about everything.'"

Santorum attempted to walk back, stressing that he was pushing back against the argument that the President's lies were out-of-character, when in fact, they're characteristic.

It didn't help.

Many did agree with Santorum on one thing, however.

The President does lie all the time. Seventy percent of the President's statement listed on Politifact range from mostly false to blatantly false. According to the Washington Post, the President has made over 8,158 false statements since his inauguration.

So it's actually more out of character for Trump to tell the public something truthful.

The constant stream of lies from the President shouldn't come as a surprise in an age where even truth isn't truth.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
