How the Republican Party has sunk: from Honest Abe to Ever-Lie Santos.

The bullshitter lied about many things, but not the basics of his life story. When he lied, Republicans coped with those lies by insisting that the lies were true.

That won't work when Santos falsifies the events of his own life. To support him, Republicans in Congress have to deny blatant facts. Thus, their continued support for him demonstrates that no lie is too low for a Republican in Congress.
