Why answer a question with the truth? What's the point in that?

Anyone can google the truth, or usually a close approximation to it.

For republicans, the whole point of answering a question, or making a speech, or just talking in general, is to lie.

Every justification and all p.r. and every policy position and every scandal allegation and every insult is based on lies.

And the media loves loves loves amplifying those lies and kills for "access" to those lies.
