We all know that Republicans lie when they open their mouths in public. What I didn’t know is that they actually believe their lies. Which of course means that Republicans are pathological liars. But I guess we knew that too. But here is a little story that proves it:
Mr. Obama, who did not join the Senate until 2005, reminded Mr. Boehner and the Senate Republican leader, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, that the tax cuts’ architects purposely left the deficit problem to a future administration, according to aides from both parties.
“I wasn’t there,” Mr. Boehner quickly countered. “I didn’t structure that deal.”
The room briefly went quiet as participants seemed to ponder that statement from a legislator first elected in 1990. “How long have you been here?,” a Democrat asked Mr. Boehner, and the others broke out in laughter.
You see, Mr. Boehner just lied to the President of the United States and his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the room. A brazen, bold faced lie, to their faces. As Steve Benen points out, Boehner was not only there, he structured the deal. LOL. Everyone in the room knew they were being lied to by the orange faced man. But still, that is the ultimate sign of disrespect. And I am glad that the Democrats in the room shoved that lie down Boehner’s throat and laughed in his face.
Republicans deserve nothing less.
