    Normally they are disguising their blatant liest a bit better.

    But still, the average Republican voter will not understand where the problem is.

      the average Republican voter will not understand where the problem is.

      More true than most realise. An open letter to anyone who thinks otherwise: Think you’ll argue someone around using logic? How do you plan to argue with the likes of

      The copy of the Constitution online at Congress’ website was edited to remove key sections of the text? So what, there are lots of different versions of the Constitution floating about online, I’ve got two editions in print

      Or

      People trying to fire back at an active shooter in a darkened movie theatre would not result in a higher body count than if everyone fled, more bullets in the air does not mean more chances for an innocent bystander to be hit by one, nor would gunshots from other directions confuse people on where they should even aim. Good guy with a gun wins again

      Or

      Yes CO2 is a greenhouse gas, yes that means it warms the earth the more is put in, yes human activities produce CO2, no we’re not responsible for climate change

      Or

      RFK isn’t an anti-vaxxer

      Not being able to see the obvious problem is like a fucking superpower for these chucklefucks.

    Do we have to stoop the MAGA’s level of deliberately misinterpretion? You don’t need the whole context of the conversation to know the title is wrong, you just need the context of the clip being reference to see he did not say he spoke to large numbers of dead people.

    He said he spoke to many people experiencing what he described - duplicate ballots, ballots sent to multiple addresses, ballots sent to dead people. And if a dead man was sent a ballot, it’s not wrong to say his widow received it.

    Come on, I hate shit like this. There’s SO many things to call these scumbags out on, we really don’t need to stretch the truth.

      He’s a Congressman who misspoke while delivering a flurry of lies. That’s amusing to me, but if your sense of humor is different that’s OK too.
