This serial liar wants us to believe we never heard that thing that literally came out of his mouth thousands of times, day in and day out at his cult rallies when he was running against Hillary Clinton. Here's Trump during a portion of his interview on Fox & Friends this Sunday, insulting everyone's intelligence by pretending he wasn't the ring leader of the "lock her up" chants at those rallies.
