Former President Barack Obama spoke earlier today in South Africa at an event honoring Nelson Mandela when he spoke on the “utter loss of shame among political leaders when they’re caught in a lie and they just double down”:
Former Pres. Obama: "Unfortunately, too much of politics today seems to reject the very concept of objective truth. People just make stuff up…we see the utter loss of shame among political leaders where they're caught in a lie and they just double down" https://t.co/s4drXPlcRD pic.twitter.com/rn5o4xt9rM
