GOP

Paul Ryan stated that Donald Trump “is new to government” so he and other Republicans give Comrade Donald a pass for all his behavior?

Inexperienced in government protocol, yes, but the Donald has been manipulating reality for years and is a known fabricator.

Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’s assertion that Trump is not a liar is blatantly false. Trump’s lies are well-documented and voluminous. Do Trump supporters have any decency? Are these the lessons they want their own children to learn? Trump deceives others, has no ethics, enriches himself and family members, and of course doesn’t think twice about 99 percent of the population.

The GOP and Republicans who don’t acknowledge Comrade Trump’s total lack of morals are teaching everyone, including their own children, that deceit and pure self-interest pays off.

Likely, the GOP’s goal by ignoring the Donald’s lies is to pass more of their disastrous legislative agenda that benefits only the rich. The GOP dystopia will continue to cause irreparable damage to the environment and the vast majority of the population. Trump’s base continues to be complicit, despite the harm they have invited upon themselves.

Wake up, Republican base and GOP legislators. Stop listening to Fox, which is a major purveyor of fake news. You are setting a shameful example for all of our children by continuing to support Trump.
