Former Clinton Administration Secretary of Labor called for a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” that could “erase Trump’s lies.”

“When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” Robert Reich tweeted Saturday.

“It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe,” Reich continued, according to the Twitter post.

“I love the people responding to this tweet as if it’s a radical, undemocratic idea,” Reich tweeted later with a link to an article in The Conversation about truth commissions that have been established in countries such as Canada.
