Republicans assume Trump lied. [View all]

If you have noticed, anytime they are asked a question about something Trump has said, they immediately go into a defensive mode and make up some story that will not piss off their boss. For example, if you ask them about the Reflection Pool, you will not get a straight answer. They will to a person, attempt to cover for Trump's lie that it was "vandals" that did the damage to the Pool. Or if you ask them about what happened on January 6th, you will never get a straight answer. They will feel the necessity to cover up for Donald Trump.

That is who they have become. A Party that lies every time they are asked to explain the comments of their Leader? They are likely to turn the question around and tell you what a great job Trump has done and question where we would be if Joe Biden was in charge?

They are predictable. They assume before hand, that if asked about something Trump said, that he lied and they must come up with a response that sounds logical but covers Trump's ass at the same time. It is a tightrope they must walk to be a member of the Republican caucus.

And it is so obvious.
