Debunking two blatant lies with a few brief video clips

When he signed an executive order, President Trump said two ‘pants on fire’ lies:

“We will have reform without undermining our many great and extremely talented law enforcement officers. President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it, and it is a complex situation.”

You can view that statement at 4:11 in a 5:16 YouTube video from The Hill on June 16, 2020. At FactCheck on June 17, 2020 Lori Robertson debunked it in an article titled Trump wrong on Obama-Biden actions on policing.

But at MSNBC’s Morning Joe, as shown above, they demolished it in less than two minutes via a series of brief clips in another YouTube video titled Trump falsely claims Obama WH didn’t reform policing. That video also was embedded in an AOL article by Jane C. Timm titled Trump says Obama didn’t reform policing. But he did and then the president ditched it.
