The question is often asked, are Republicans lying or are they stupid? Of course, lying can mean lying-to-obstruct, or lying-to-steal, or even just lying-to-confuse. The point is that the very act of "lying" implies volition and desire. But "stupid", thats a different thing.
I think that I would certainly prefer that they were lying. Because accusing them of being stupid sounds so much like an ad hominem attack on their character. Which it is, of course.
So whats her name said the following.
President Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Sanders, remarked: “The idea that Putin is happy about this [Trump's decision to withdraw US forces from Syria] is ridiculous. It puts them at a greater risk, so I think that's just silly.”
In other words, stupid.
