WASHINGTON - Allegiance to a lie has become a test of loyalty to Donald Trump and a means of self-preservation for Republicans.
Trump’s discredited allegations about a stolen election did nothing to save his presidency when courtrooms high and low, state governments and ultimately Congress - meeting in the chaos of an insurrection powered by his grievances - affirmed the legitimacy of his defeat and the honesty of the process that led to it.
Now those “Big Lie” allegations, no closer to true than before, are getting a second, howling wind.
Republicans are expected to believe the falsehoods, pretend they do or at bare minimum not let it be known that they don’t. State Republican leaders from Georgia to Arizona have been flamed by Trump or his followers for standing against the lies.
Only a select few Republicans in Washington are defying him, for they, too, know that doing so comes with a cost.

Ugly face of Media evil.
Sorry, I just can’t get into the AP.
The first sentence lays the groundwork, didn’t read a word more.
I doubt Woodward believes his own words.
Loving this...Here in DC everyone knows the election was stolen and we are in the heart of the corruption. This is why the AP is taking time to push this narrative.... the dam is breaking :)
AP = America’s Pravda.
One way to help minimize illegal voting is at polling locations place a few guys with caps and vests that have INS emblazoned upon them.
“...Republicans who don’t embrace it...” = RINOS
74 million people cannot be wrong. The election was a fraud.
100% pure prog delusional drama rant.
Expect more.
Expect to be condemned if you do not proclaim your belief in their delusion.

ap is cnn is cia.
none of them give a shit what you think.
Someone has their puppet’s hand in Calvin Woodard’s back.
Who’s hand?
AP doesn’t want us looking into election fraud to settle the question of who, exactly, is telling a BIG LIE. Currently it is a big unanswered question.
Lolol! After 4 years of promoting a conspiracy theory about Trump/Russia collusion, the AP has chutzpah to decry anybody about embracing a “big lie.”
“Discredited allegations” my ass.
These bastards stole the election and anyone with half a brain knows it.
“74 million people cannot be wrong.”
Everyone always says Trump got 74 million votes... but one ever includes all the Trump votes that were flipped to Biden. I think you could add another 5 or 10 million votes to Trump’s total votes cast. 80 million is more like the truth.
Interesting how all the democrats are going nuts over AZ election audit. AZ is a Pandora’s box and the Democrats and their lawyers know it.
Calvin, according to two polls, 30% of democrats believe the election was stolen.
