Prepare to be shocked. Disgusted. Embarrassed. Disappointed. Horrified.
I'm starting the lineup with Republican Markwayne Mullin who made up a story about having a recording of CDC Director Manarez saying something incriminating. Despite his faux attempts to intimidate her, she stayed with her story refusing to be bullied with lies.
Guess what? It turns out Mullin was exposed as a damn liar the same day when he had to admit not having the incriminating recording to his fellow Republicans who wanted to listen to it. What was the consequence of being exposed fraudulently accusing someone you ask? Absolutely nothing. As long as MAGA has the majority we can expect this kind of conduct to be routine.
Next in the corrupt lineup is the so-called Immigration Czar Tom Homan. Last year he took a $50,000 cash bribe from two FBI agents posing as businessman. But the FBI didn't make a move to indict him, preferring to continue the investigation to get more evidence. That was a mistake. Trump named Homan to a key government position, despite knowing about the criminal investigation. He gave him that position because it didn't require confirmation in Congress, knowing he would be exposed as a criminal.
Next in the corrupt lineup is FBI Director Kash Patel who is personally leading Trump's ongoing purge of FBI officials who aren't loyal to the first felon. In a speech on the Senate floor Senator Dick Durbin said, according to his sources, "Mr. Patel is receiving information from within the FBI from the Director's Advisory Team. Mr. Patel then provides direction to Stephen Miller, who relays it to the Acting Deputy Attorney General Bove."
Durbin then explained how, if the allegations are true, Mr. Patel's desire for FBI officials to be fired more quickly goes in complete contrast with what he said while being confirmed. Sen. Cory Booker asked Patel, "Are you aware of any plans or discussions to punish in any way, including termination, FBI agents or personnel associated with Trumps investigations?"
Patel, staying true to form, lied and said "No," after disrespecting Durbin and acting like an entitled ass. Which is of course is the Way of the MAGA.
Last in the corrupt lineup is the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, a prolific liar. I'll just pick one example of her lying due to space considerations.
But the lie was quickly debunked when reporters recorded Padilla saying who he was numerous times. He was still thrown down and handcuffed before people came to their senses and released him...with no apologies.
Noem has written a book about herself that is a good place to look for her historical lies. My favorite lie in it was when the French government said Noem lied about cancelling meeting with Macron. See how many lies you can find in her bio.
As it Stands, if I tried to document the lies of all MAGA officials from county, state, to the federal government it would be a book longer than War and Peace.
