The other day Sarah Huckabee Sanders wanted to rewrite one of the Ten Commandments. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" has been considered a pretty good principle to follow for over 2000 years. Uncomfortably good for SHS who said this when defending Trump's re-tweet of discreditted anti-muslim video clips:-
"Whether the video is real or not, the threat is real; that's what the President is talking about....and those are real no matter how you look at it..."
Effectively she's saying, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour, but if you feel threatened by your neighbour, then it's ok,"
