@StillIRise1963 I see one difference. I believe Santos is mentally ill and fully believes his lies and fabrications. Most Republican leaders, however, are willfully evil, know the facts, and know that their lies are false.
@StillIRise1963 He certainly is, a natural born one. He's done this his whole life. He lies all the time, even when it's not "necessary".
Every lie is another chance to be found out. Expert liars don't tell any more lies than are necessary.
