George Conway: GOP ‘addicted to lies under Trump’ – The Hill
In a scathing op-ed for The Washington Post, prominent conservative attorney George Conway has accused the GOP of being “addicted to lies under Trump.” Conway, who is married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and his administration’s disregard for the truth.
Conway points to a long list of falsehoods and misleading statements made by Trump and his allies, including the recent claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. He argues that the Republican Party has become “untethered from reality” and is willing to spread lies in order to maintain power. Conway warns that this addiction to lies is eroding the foundations of democracy and undermining the credibility of American institutions.
The consequences of Trump’s narcissistic lying are far-reaching and pose a serious threat to democracy. By constantly spreading misinformation and sowing doubt about the legitimacy of elections, Trump is eroding public trust in the democratic process. This erosion of trust can lead to increased polarization, political instability, and a breakdown of democratic norms. It is crucial for the American people to hold their leaders accountable for their words and actions in order to protect the integrity of their democracy. (Source: The Hill)
