Alternative facts are just different facts, not falsehoods.
One fact is that Trump's crowd was smaller.
An alternative fact is that lots of people do like the Duce and did vote for him, all the same.
Remember Johnny Mercer.
You got to accentuate the positive.
Maybe Kellyanne wasn't the politically motivated liar when used that expression.
Maybe it was the MSNBC host Chuck Todd who protested with outrage that the very expression "alternative facts" was Orwellian newspeak for "lies".
But she did leave an easy opening for that, since her use of the term came up in connection with the White House's unyielding and egregiously false claims that Bozo's inauguration day crowd was bigger than Obama's had been and, indeed, the biggest ever.
It was easy to suppose she was referring to those false claims as "alternative facts".
And maybe she was.
But maybe not.
