The Attorney General's performance today was shameful. He doubled down on lies large and small, continuing his misrepresentations.
If he were elected to a second term, this time, he might do damage that would be irreparable.
What he has done is reprehensible, unlawful, an insult to the Constitution, and an insult to the idea of America.
What Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who Trump admires, has done in Hungary is probably the right comparison to what might happen here in a second term.
