My MAGA congressman, Jeff Crank in Colorado district 5, sent out a mass text message claiming that the shutdown was because Democrats were insisting on free healthcare for illegal immigrants. I replied to inform him that I'm not that stupid, and I received a canned email repeating the same lie. Here's my response to that:
I replied to your text message containing the BIG FAT LIE that Democrats were holding out for free healthcare for illegal immigrants, and you send this email reply repeating the same LIE? And then, I found out that several federal websites have been modified to say that the shutdown is because of the same BIG FAT LIE, in big fat letters? And then I see a half-dozen prominent Republicans on TV repeating that LIE? And then I'm astonished to see that many agencies have actually modified their employee's "out of office" email replies to deliberately misinform the public with the same OUTRAGEOUS LIE, as if those employees actually believe it?
In my 76 years on this planet, I have never seen such an outrageously unethical scandal as an entire political party conspiring to promulgate the same BIG FAT LIE, hoping to avoid the political consequences of discontinuing programs that 71% of Americans approve of, by just LYING about it. That's what MAGA means to you and your ilk?
Furthermore, all this LYING is in service of the most prolific and most blatant pathological LIAR in American political history an obnoxiously self-obsessed racist, misogynist, and xenophobe, a convicted felon and unregistered sex offender who has lied and cheated his way through every aspect of his life, and now aspires to be a petty dictator in a "great again" fascist banana republic. And like all fascists movements in history, it's really all in service of America's oligarchy class that would be enriched by supporting a dictator.
You, sir, are a LIAR, and you should be ashamed of yourself! The disrespect you show for both the truth and for your constituent's ability to know the truth proves that you are totally unfit for office. I assure you, I will do everything I can to burn your MAGA party of LIARS to the ground in the next election.
LIAR!
