It's seriously the same pattern, basically every time: deny fervently, make some goofy-ass excuse, and finally, when the evidence is overwhelming, shrug it off as no big deal.
This isn't how honest people talk or think. If it were no big deal, the campaign would just say that from the start. The fact that they continually retreat to it shows that have no regard for the truth. And the reason they don't is that their supporters don't hold them accountable for what they say or do, as we've seen numerous times in this thread.
