Ousted Rep. Mark Sanford Criticizes Fellow Republicans for Fleeing from Trump’s Lies

In a recent interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” ousted Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) spoke out against President Trump’s constant lies, stating that his fellow Republicans are “running for the hills” because they cannot handle the falsehoods coming from the White House. Sanford, who knows all too well about the consequences of lying due to a scandal that ended his governorship in 2009, expressed his concerns about the lack of accountability for Trump’s lies.

Here are some of the key points highlighting the lies and deceit that Sanford addressed in his interview:

– Sanford admitted to his own past mistakes and the consequences he faced for lying, including financial, political, and social repercussions.
– He pointed out the stark contrast between the consequences he faced for his lies and the lack of repercussions for President Trump’s falsehoods.
– Sanford highlighted the harmful impact of accepting lies from the president on society and the principles set forth by the founding fathers.
– He criticized the lack of accountability for Trump’s lies, noting that even prominent GOP critics like Sens. Jeff Flake and Bob Corker are choosing to leave office rather than confront the president.

Sanford’s remarks shed light on the dangerous precedent set by Trump’s constant lying and the impact it can have on democracy. His narcissistic tendencies and disregard for the truth pose a threat to the foundations of our democratic system, as they erode trust in government institutions and sow division among the American people.
