They repeat a lie so often it becomes ironclad truth. If we could just get 2 or 3 major points and hammer them home. And speaking of the fraud case against T rump, there are so damn many examples of his griftathon that we forget. Remember the little Freedom Kids from his inauguration? He didn't pay them. Seriously. The president stole from a charity, and stiffed the freaking Freedom Kids. You can't make this shit up. https://time.com/4424496/usa-freedom-kids-donald-trump-sue-lawsuit/
