How can any political community function when blatant lying for short-term political gain becomes this normalized?
Aaron RuparSen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."
