6. We have seen it over and over again over the last few years

1. Benghazi-Hillary and Obama purposely left the mission staff high and dry to die
2. Obamacare- killing jobs and destroying the healthcare system
3. Iran Deal- making it "easier" for Iran to get a nuclear weapon
4. Planned Parenthood- selling "baby parts"

No matter what the facts are, no matter the fact that there is zero evidence to support any of their wild claims, the right-wing NEVER backs down on any of them and continues to endlessly flog them for donations, votes, etc. Since the 1990's, in fact, they will endlessly scrutinize and investigate or pick at ANYTHING they think will damage/weaken their opposition whether true or not. They don't pay much, if any, attention to REAL scandals like the entire George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (mis-)Administration- starting with how they managed to be installed in the first place- but they will go after Democrats and left-wing organizations with all of the firepower they can muster and wreak whatever havoc they can.
