CNN’s Avlon: Trump Continues to Keep the Big Lie Alive in the Heart of His Hardcore Supporters

‘Don’t look for logic, just follow the money’

EXCERPT:

AVLON: "America’s battle against the virus continues, not just the Delta variant, but the virus of lies that continues to course through our country. From attempts to deflect blame from the January 6th attack to almost daily disinformation about the Covid vaccine. But if you’re looking for a reason why the lies are so contagious among Republican elites, don’t look for logic, just follow the money, because ex-president Donald Trump has built up a war chest of more than $100 million. But as with all things Trump, it’s not quite what it seems. I’m not even talking about how he inflated his totals for the first half of the year, I’m talking about how it’s evidence of the grift that goes on even as Trump cows Republicans to staying in an abusive relationship. Because for all the fundraising over nonexistent mass voter fraud, Trump has spent no money on the fruitless fraudits that continue to keep the big lie alive in the heart of his hardcore supporters.”
