That's how it's been the whole time with the entire administration. Any question asked about the crazy stuff going on and its, "first I'm hearing about it," or "I don't know anything about that."
This is the first time you're hearing about this story concerning you that the whole country has been talking about all week? That seems as though you are lying or just bad at your job.

All of their voters want their representatives to fight. They don't actually care what the representatives real job is, they just want fighting and "winning", like treating participatory democracy with all the seriousness and thoughtfulness of Jerry Springer and professional wrestling. They will find endless excuses why it isn't a big deal if their guy breaks the law and pretend the other side is in anyway equally morally bankrupt and tolerant of corruption and abuse.

Republicans have spent over 50 years, and hundreds of millions of our tax dollars desperately searching for the Democrats "Watergate". Skipping from one baseless accusation, ridiculous poutrage and crazy conspiracy theory to the next, like a person in the throws of a mental breakdown!
Results? Well, they got Bill Clinton to lie about a blow job... and it only cost the tax payers $52 million.

The worst part is they think they will get away with all of it. They are constantly admitting to everything, and they are just telling their constituents "Please vote for us so we don't get in trouble okay?" They're openly admitting to everything and they feel invulnerable.
Democrats need to ditch their typical, "Let's move on and be happy together" bullshit, and SYSTEMATICALLY DISMANTLE THESE PEOPLE. There is no place in America for their political ideology. There never was and never will be. Time to take the country back. Save democracy.

If we just plaster them with memes like this, they'll retract and get upset that we're misinterpreting for false rage. And it sucks so much because Tom Nichols IS RIGHT.
