Brooks: Reacting to Trump's 'Exaggerations and Lies' May Be 'Right' But It Gets 'Old'

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks discussed Sharpie-Gate and stated that reacting to President Trump’s “exaggerations and lies again and again” might be “the right thing to do,” but it also gets old.

Brooks said, “[O]n the one hand, we have made too much. Because it’s a line on a map. And it’s sort of an Onion article. On the other hand, it is Donald Trump being Donald Trump. … And the question is, do we always react to his exaggerations and lies again and again and again? Maybe that’s the right thing to do, just to preserve norms. It gets a little old, though.”
