Do Honest Republicans Still Exist?

[thomhartmann]

Lies from the White House are common under the Trump era they hardly make the news anymore.

Donald Trump's lies about Tim Cook from Apple, Donald Trump's lies about his involvement and connections to foreign oligarchs, his lies about policy, and much much more.

The list of Trump's lies is growing everyday.

But why are Republicans following the President through all of these lies and when those lies put Americans in danger?

Do Republicans believe that lies are essential for governance?

Thom breaks down the Neo-Calvinism behind the Republican governance by lies.

Caller asks Thom Hartmann why Republicans are not just okay with Donald Trump's lies but are willing to lie for him, to stand by Donald Trump's dishonesty, and that these lies are actually a good thing?
