Not the "Big Lie", but the "Little Lie".
He got on his propaganda station and told the world that those poor children in Sandy Hook were not killed -it was a conspiracy - and many of his listeners believed him. Just like so many more, now believe the "Big Lie".
Why are so many, so hesitant, to tell the truth?
Big Lies and Little Lies, they all do their damage.

He didn't have to make stuff up.
You can bet he did it because he knows a certain percentage of his listeners just love this stuff. There was a monetary incentive to give his audience the conspiracies (and fear and outrage) that they thrive on.

Republicans want to take America down the trail of the "Big Lie". It is a dangerous road to travel. America should look very carefully.
