On Monday, CNN reporter Manu Raju spoke with Republican Sen. James Lankford about the border security bill, and the Oklahoma senator wasn’t happy. “I'm frustrated when people put out intentionally false information,” said Lankford. “I expect more. … I get frustrated when people put out things that are intentionally false, that they know are false, because I expect more of Americans.”
If that’s the case, Sen. James Lankford must spend a lot of time being frustrated with American Sen. James Lankford.
When it comes to telling lies that he knows are lies, there aren’t many who can top him. A few hours after speaking to Raju, Lankford told reporters that he expects to vote against his own bill. That’s far from a unique instance. Whether it’s abortion, the climate crisis, or even 9/11, Lankford is at the front of the pack when it comes to telling lies for political advantage.
