Fox host calls Trump's lie-filled press conference “an amazing example of democracy in action”

Fox News host Dana Perino concluded that President Donald Trump's unscheduled press conference, where he lied to reporters multiple times, was “an amazing example of democracy in action.” Trump also responded to a question about his campaign being subpoenaed by lawyers representing a woman who says he sexually assaulted her by saying: “It's totally fake news. Just fake. It's made-up stuff.”

From the October 16 edition of Fox News' The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino:

DANA PERINO (HOST): All right, that was President Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell [(R-KY)] in the Rose Garden in a fabulous press conference, and an amazing example of democracy in action when the leader of the free world takes that many questions from the press corps.
