Today every major network invited on a Republican senator who spread the racist Big Lie: Lindsey Graham, Roger Wicker, Bill Cassidy and Rand Paul

None of the hosts even *mentioned* that they lied to overturn the election

CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox are erasing and rewriting history
Graham spent nine weeks saying the election was stolen and that Trump actually won. He tried to get legal votes thrown out in Georgia. He did nothing but blatantly lie

On @FaceTheNation, @margbrennan asked Graham if he thinks the impeachment trial is constitutional
Roger Wicker made false and baseless allegations of voter fraud. He spread the lie to throw out nonwhite votes for Biden and help Trump steal the election. He did nothing but lie

On @ThisWeekABC, @GStephanopoulos let him repeatedly say the impeachment trial is unconstitutional
Bill Cassidy refused to say Biden won the election

On @MeetThePress he said the GOP acts in "good faith" but Democrats refuse to work with them

@chucktodd: "that's been a challenge for this town for more than a decade" and "appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective"
Rand Paul *to this day* claims the election was stolen. He is continuing to spread the very lie that led to the Jan. 6 riot

On @FoxNewsSunday, Chris Wallace let Paul claim that if Biden really wanted "unity" he would have told his own party "enough's enough" and to "move on"
All of these Republicans are bad-faith actors. They willingly participated in spreading a lie for the sole purpose of overturning the election

Any rational person would assume they are going to continue to lie about everything

And every major network today said "come on over"
The only Sunday show that didn't book an election liar was @CNNSotu

It sucks that there are only like two Republican senators who didn't spread the Big Lie, but the message that the other networks clearly send is that they don't care if you lie — you can always lie on our show
