GOP needs to reject Trump’s lies

Many elected Republicans are completely afraid of Trump and his ability to destroy their political careers. His lies and the perpetuation of those lies are the bottom line that will destroy our republic. The federal government absolutely needs a law guaranteeing the vote for those who would be disenfranchised. Republicans fear the vote because the majority of the American public are seeing the truth of the Trump cult.

Donald Trump has joined the notorious group of “Master” liars whose lies are meant to control the masses. Bernie Madoff went to jail for deceiving the public with his lies and separating them from their money. Hitler deceived the public with his lies causing WWII. Putin of Russia eliminates his detractors with poison.

We need the deceived of this country to see the masterful perpetuation of lies by the narcissistic, dictator-wanna-be, former liar-in-chief, his pet media outlet Fox News, as well as his lie perpetuating cronies such as Ted Cruz, Rudy Giuliani, etc.
