That's what you ignore. Anything conservative.
You should, too.
Crazy Lou Dobbs is crying about Liz Cheney now. Demanding she's voted out. Why? Because she could no longer lie for the party to keep protecting Trump.
So, in order to be a loyal Republican, you have to honor lies. You guys are wonderful.

And you believe everything the new regime is telling ya?

<section>Like many Trump supporters, conservative donor Fred Eshelman awoke the day after the presidential election with the suspicion that something wasn?t right. His candidate?s apparent lead in key battleground states had evaporated overnight.
The next day, the North Carolina financier and his advisers reached out to a small conservative nonprofit group in Texas that was seeking to expose voter fraud. After a 20-minute talk with the group?s president, their first conversation, Eshelman was sold.
</section><section>?I?m in for 2,? he told the president of True the Vote, according to court documents and interviews with Eshelman and others.
?$200,000?? one of his advisers on the call asked.
?$2 million,? Eshelman responded.
Over the next 12 days, Eshelman came to regret his donation and to doubt conspiracy theories of rampant illegal voting, according to court records and interviews.
Now, he wants his money back.
The story behind the Eshelman donation ? detailed in previously unreported court filings and exclusive interviews with those involved ? provides new insights into the frenetic days after the election, when baseless claims led donors to give hundreds of millions of dollars to reverse President Biden?s victory.
Trump?s campaign and the Republican Party collected $255 million in two months, saying the money would support legal challenges to an election marred by fraud. Trump?s staunchest allies in Congress also raised money off those false allegations, as did pro-Trump lawyers seeking to overturn the election results ? and even some of their witnesses.
True the Vote was one of several conservative ?election integrity? groups that sought to press the case in court. Though its lawsuits drew less attention than those brought by the Trump campaign, True the Vote nonetheless sought to raise more than $7 million for its investigation of the 2020 election.
Documents that have surfaced in Eshelman?s litigation, along with interviews, show how True the Vote?s private assurances that it was on the cusp of revealing illegal election schemes repeatedly fizzled as the group?s focus shifted from one allegation to the next. The nonprofit sought to coordinate its efforts with a coalition of Trump?s allies, including Trump attorney Jay Sekulow and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), the documents show.
Eshelman has alleged in two lawsuits ? one in federal court has been withdrawn and the other is ongoing in a Texas state court ? that True the Vote did not spend his $2 million gift and a subsequent $500,000 donation as it said it would. Eshelman also alleges that True the Vote directed much of his money to people or businesses connected to the group?s president, Catherine Engelbrecht.
Asked about the shifting focus from allegation to allegation, Engelbrecht said, ?A good thorough investigation takes the course it takes, and we were not going to expose whistleblowers to make a quick headline.? She said that the group?s investigation ?is ongoing even now.? In court documents, True the Vote says Eshelman?s money was spent properly.
True the Vote?s lawyer, James Bopp, said that no conditions were attached to Eshelman?s donations and he is not entitled to the return of his money just because he didn?t like the outcome.
The court documents and interviews show how quickly Eshelman and his allies became disillusioned with True the Vote.
?We were just not getting any data or proof,? said Tom Crawford, who had worked for Eshelman as a lobbyist and served as his representative on the True the Vote effort. ?We were looking at this and saying to ourselves, ?This just is not adding up.? ?
