    The only way it would be gaslighting is if the dems were questioning their own comments.

    And they aren’t.

    He’s just being a hypocritical lying dick. Not the same thing.

      The attempt at gaslighting doesn’t need to be successful for it to be called gaslighting

      yeah I was never even commenting on the appropriateness of using it with vance but I think often they know they are lying and do try to manipulate the narrative. In this instance its hard to say but im willing to say they do it overall.
