Conveniently ignoring his history of pushing former President Trump’s falsehoods, Rudy Giuliani took to Twitter Wednesday night to fire off a tone-deaf tweet calling for the end of “misinformation” — which the former Trump personal lawyer is notorious for spreading.
Projection and gaslight: it’s all Giuliani has, it’s all Republicans have, it’s all conservatives had.
When your core animating principle is discriminatory and oppressive – that there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect – then you must mask that purpose, particularly in public, by continuously, relentlessly lying, even to yourself.
This complete lack of self-awareness is a requirement for any good Republican and extends all of the way down through FOX watchers and all of the other truth deniers. Irony is a completely lost concept on them - witness how many times they have mistaken satire for real news stories.
