People just make stuff up.</s>OBAMA: They just make stuff up. We see it in the growth of state- sponsored propaganda. We see it in Internet-driven fabrications.

We see the utter loss of shame among political leaders, where they're caught in a lie and they just double down and they lie some more.</s>OBAMA: Look, let me say politicians have always lied --</s>BOLDUAN: As we often say, as we end the show, you just can't make this stuff up, even though sometimes they are a lot of the time. Thank you for joining me. "INSIDE POLITICS" with John King starts right now.</s>JOHN KING, CNN HOST: Thank you, Kate. And welcome to INSIDE POLITICS.
