Yates: Trump has a ‘complete indifference to truth’

Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Tuesday ripped President Trump on Twitter, saying that he has an “indifference to the truth.”

Yates, an Obama appointee who was suddenly fired from her post in January after refusing to defend Trump’s travel ban, tweeted Tuesday morning that “normalizing” the president’s false statements would be “dangerous.”

“We can’t let POTUS’s complete indifference to truth become ours,” she tweeted. “Constant barrage may be exhausting, but normalizing it is too dangerous.”

This is a rare appearance from Yates on Twitter — she has only tweeted seven times since joining the website in June, and the majority of her posts have condemned the president’s actions.
