They have been spinning and lying at least since they went along with Nixon and his lies about getting us out of Vietnam, and whatever other lies he told to get people to vote for him. It's all the same lying and race-baiting it has been for the past 50 years, at least. "The Big Lie" is really no different than what they've been doing all along.
