You change the story until your audience finds it acceptable.
The very fluidity of the story line is the problem.

eg
Mom to 5 year old son: Did you touch the cookie jar?
Son: nope!

Mom: so those crumbs on your mouth, where did they come from?
Son: OK, I did take a cookie.

Mom: The jar is empty. How come?
Son: I might have had more than one.

You just change the story and watch your audience to see which version they find acceptable.

Not a good look Noem.
You are not a 5 year old trying to convince your mom.
