knowing I am a Democrat, along with tons of his R friends. It listed 40+ lies about Hillary, including pizzagate, murders, lots of conspiracy theories.

Hillary would have been a great president. I voted for her, as did the remaining 5 members of my family (unless husband lied, which he likely did).
