"Accountability depends on Americans' ability to know the truth. Undermining truth is a way to undermine other sources of information. If they've done that, they can provide their own narrative."Evan McMullin talks to students at the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute on November 2, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah, during his 2016 presidential run.
