    The only way it would be gaslighting is if the dems were questioning their own comments.

    And they aren’t.

    He’s just being a hypocritical lying dick. Not the same thing.

      yeah I was never even commenting on the appropriateness of using it with vance but I think often they know they are lying and do try to manipulate the narrative. In this instance its hard to say but im willing to say they do it overall.

      The attempt at gaslighting doesn’t need to be successful for it to be called gaslighting
