PolitiFact founder Bill Adair appeared on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Thursday to discuss his new book, Beyond the Big Lie, and was asked which U.S. political party lies more frequently.

politifact founder: republicans lie! caricatures of republican politicians in front of a television with lies! on it. — After creating this graphic for a video post where the featured image IS the video, I’m putting it right here.

In this video, David Shuster discusses “breaking news” from the founder of Politifact: Republicans lie the most.

To which I say, “Duh.”

It’s shocking to learn that Republicans lie so often, isn’t it?

It’s not like Donald Trump lied over 30,000 times as President or anything. Wikipedia even has a page to track every lie he’s told, but it’s blank, because he’s never lied!

He was so forthcoming with information about COVID. As soon as he found out how deadly it was, he told us..

…not that long after he told Bob Woodward.

I just find it so hard to believe that anyone in the graphic above would speak with anything less than rigourous honesty.

I need to wipe off my monitor. It’s leaking sarcasm all over my keyboard right now.

Almost as if my words are dripping with it or something.
