I cannot think of even one.
It seems to me that every Republican that is asked a question attempts to deceive or either outright lies. It is not possible for them to give an honest response.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed?
It doesn't matter what the question might be, you cannot get an honest answer. They try to deceive the questioner.
Every single time.

(5,530 posts)There's no requirement to join either party, it's a matter of what sort of people each party attracts. The Republican Party attracts the evil, hateful, dishonest, and greedy, along with the naive, ignorant and credulous. In fact, its members consist mainly of people exhibiting various combinations of those characteristics.

(55,281 posts)She "saved" Obamacare by killing a Republican bill that would have ended the individual mandate.
Of course, she doesn't much talk about the 20 or so times she voted to defund or repeal the aca, or that 6 months later she helped kill the individual mandate anyway....

(55,281 posts)Why answer a question with the truth? What's the point in that?
Anyone can google the truth, or usually a close approximation to it.
For republicans, the whole point of answering a question, or making a speech, or just talking in general, is to lie.
Every justification and all p.r. and every policy position and every scandal allegation and every insult is based on lies.
And the media loves loves loves amplifying those lies and kills for "access" to those lies.
