24. I'm amazed how easily, and shamelessly, Republicans lie.

Mike Johnson is an accomplished liar. His callous disregard for truth sets him up into the higher echelons of Republican liars.
The sad part is that, even when the truth is easily shown, they continue to lie. They know that their Republican base is a very uncurious lot. They don't look for truth. They only look for that which they want to find; what they expect their leadership to tell them, regardless of how far it is from the truth.
So, millions of Americans will believe the Democrats want illegal immigrants to have free healthcare.
Again, the sad part is that Republicans don't want anyone to have any subsidized healthcare at all. It takes away from the money they want to give to their wealth donors.
So all they have to do is convince their base that it's always the Democrats fault...an easy task considering their base already believes that to be the case.
It's Biden's fault, or Obama's fault, or Hillary's fault...just pick one and their base will nod in agreement.
