Just for the record, despite what Donald Trump says, NBC anchor and debate moderator Lester Holt is a registered Republican — not Democrat.
He’s been a registered Republican since 2003 — far longer than Trump.
Holt’s voter registration shouldn’t matter.
But it does because Trump claimed this on Monday:
“By the way, Lester is a Democrat,” Trump said emphatically to Bill O’Reilly. “It’s a phony system. They are all Democrats. It’s a very unfair system.”
Trump has been registered in both major parties, and almost ran for president in 2000 as an independent. He is the last one that should be giving a lecture on party loyalty.
For a guy who says he could walk out and shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his supporters wouldn’t care, a sweet little lie about Lester Holt shouldn’t really matter.
But it does if truth is still important.
