These are the subject of Weissmann\u2019s new book, Liar\u2019s Kingdom: How to Stop Trump\u2019s Deceit and Save America. Political lies, Andrew Weissmann writes, are foundational to Donald Trump\u2019s policies: they fuel his administration\u2019s weaponization of law enforcement and unlawful deportation of immigrants, among other things. Other politicians, inspired by Trump\u2019s success, have flooded the public square with their own falsehoods. And as political lies grow and are widely accepted, Weissmann discusses how they threaten the very foundation of our democracy. But as dire as this crisis is, we are not helpless \u2014 Weissmann describes tools to vindicate the public\u2019s right to the truth, using examples from around the globe as models we can emulate. In a conversation with MS NOW\u2019s Lawrence O\u2019Donnell, hear Weissmann discuss his revelatory new book \u2014 a legal guide and citizen\u2019s playbook for how to prevent liars from holding office in the future. Don\u2019t miss this urgent conversation about how to save democracy from the demagogues.
