Today after the election, we can focus on the lies told by the GOP, and who paid for those lies.
How much dark money was spent in this campaign by the GOP?
And don't forget that Trump lied yesterday in his tweets about healthcare.
Regular Americans face an uphill climb back to political normalcy - we must fight against lies and money from the super wealthy in politics.

A REPUBLICAN SUPER PAC has paid for a television ad attacking Democrat Jon Ossoff one of the leading candidates in an April 18 special election to fill the House seat for Georgias 6th Congressional District for producing video content for Al Jazeera.
The ad assails Al Jazeera as a mouthpiece for terrorists, and features imagery of deceased al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, with the clear insinuation that Ossofs past work for Al Jazeera puts him in league with terrorists.
Ironically, the Super PAC, called the Congressional Leadership Fund, is chaired by former Minnesota Republican Sen. Norm Coleman a registered lobbyist for Saudi Arabia, home of 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers and one of the countries most responsible for exporting extremism.
