The MSM have struggled to come up with a generally accepted formula for calling out Trump’s lies without using the divisive l-word. It appears that they have hit upon “without evidence” as their catch phrase. They use it every time he just makes up something, such as his latest allegation that the Democrats fabricated RBG’s testament. Just recognize it as a polite, judgment-free way of labeling the man a liar.
On a somewhat related note, the right apparently has taken to accusing the left of fomenting a “color revolution.” If you take the analogy as far as you need to go, that makes Trump America’s Putin. That this analogy doesn’t bother them should tell you how far the GOP has fallen.
