Lie, Rinse, and Repeat [View all]

"Crooked Joe Biden and the Leftist Democrat Thugs have weaponized the Justice Department to prosecute the candidate that is 50 points ahead in the polls"...

How many times have we heard that worn-out line?

"I have done nothing wrong but the Deranged Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ are trying to defeat us with election interference".

Over and over, we are forced to listen to these lies.

Just as reporters are lulled into believing they can get him to say something that isn't a lie. They do not understand that he will lie with every statement that he makes, especially if he is permitted to expand upon it, and they cannot have a "list" of questions to go to until they clean up each and every answer that he gives. They fall into the trap.

The problem is that his supporters listen to every word that he says. When he tells the same lie over and over, and is not challenged, they tend to believe him. This presents a problem in finding a jury pool that has not heard his lies and many that believe them.
