Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) latest attempted dig at Democrats on Twitter did not go down well.

On Thursday, Jordan heaped praise on Donald Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, writing she “wasn’t scared to answer tough questions.”

“Why’s the Biden White House?” he added.

Critics immediately reminded the Ohio congressman of McEnany’s penchant for pushing falsehoods and defending the baseless assertions of former President Donald Trump.

That’s despite McEnany, who is now a host on Fox News, vowing to journalists during her very first briefing: “I will never lie to you. You have my word on that.”

“Cuz it’s easy to lie,” one commenter fired back.

Said another: “When you’re a shameless liar, answers are easy to come by, Gym.” [emphasis added]

Some Twitter users also recalled Jordan’s alleged ignoring of molestation allegations against the team doctor during his time as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University. He denies those claims. They also remembered his refusal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

I wonder what percentage of the GOP base doesn't realize their party rarely tells the truth. I bet it's depressingly high. It has to be, since these people are the worst damned liars I've ever seen. Nothing they say is believable, which makes their lies idiotic and easily transparent.

Yeah, I've just decided most GOP voters are damned thoughtless/stupid/gullible. What other explanation is there?

Some of it is lower intelligence, but there are plenty who are smart but just ignorant of facts.

Most Trump fans know almost nothing about progressive viewpoints. They just watch Fox and it lies to them but also censors stories that are inconvenient. They don't know, for instance, that many January 6th rioters had guns, knives, and other weapons. Fox explicitly refused to broadcast the hearings about it to protect their audience's fragile understanding of the world.

It all goes back to the idea that anything that challenges their feelings is false and the product of "liberal bias."
