During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, former GOP communications director Tara Setmayer pounced on Donald Trump for lying his way back into the White House.
Speaking with host Alex Witt, the two watched clips of Donald Trump repeatedly claiming he knew nothing about the controversial Project 2025, or anyone associated with it, before the election, only to have turned around and stocked his incoming administration with a bevy of conservatives with deep ties to it.
After the MSNBC host ticked off several of the more prominent Project 2025 associates who have been nominated for high-profile Cabinet positions, she asked her guest, "What does this tell you, though? His choices – what does it indicate?"

"It indicates that Donald Trump, as we know, is a lying liar who lies and the proof was there before the election that he absolutely did know about Project 2025," replied Setmayar who worked for former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) until 2013. Setmayer left the Republican Party in 2020 and co-founded the Seneca Project, which works to galvanize moderate women voters.
"Over 100 of his former Trump administration officials or people who worked with him co-wrote it," she said.
"We tried at the Seneca Project to put out information explaining this early on throughout the — in the summer during the campaign to show people like, when you vote for Donald Trump you're not just voting for him, you're voting for the rogue's gallery of degenerates he'll be surrounded by and this is their plan," she explained.
"They spent the last four years laying out this plan of how they want to dismantle our current system of government and now they're telling you the truth," she added. "I mean, Donald Trump tried to 'coffee boy' Project 2025 –– never heard of it, never read it. Chances are he probably didn't read it because we know Donald Trump doesn't read but he damn sure did know what Project 2025 was and surrounded by people who not only knew what it was but co-authored it."
"J.D. Vance wrote the forward to a project 2025 book," she pointed out. "He was surrounded by them. This is not a shock to those of us sounding the alarm for months."
