4. Scott and McCarthy are key figures in determining the future of the GOP. And they've decided the future is to embrace Trump and his lies about election fraud.
No one is forcing them to do so.

5. Fox News claims that its coverage of the 2020 election has been rigorous and fair.
But Fox News has decided to stream FOUR DAYS OF LIES ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION.
It's also a top sponsor of @CPAC, paying at least 250K in support of the event.
