And now believe them as fact--because they will not be challenged on them.

Of course that's not exactly true--not all 24 million people who watched watched because they supported those idiots--some watched to stare at a car wreck--and some people may question it anyway--but certainly others will repeat their lies as facts now.

They know this.

It's easy to throw out a lie as fact.

Trying to convince people that it isn't true is much harder.
