Just lie about everything all the time

Yeah I’m sick of this too, but this genuinely fascinates me in a morbid way.
@jasoninthehouse remembers Charlie Kirk:
“I want his wife and the country to know… The last question he took, the last thing he talked about… was one of love, of Jesus Christ, of his belief in prayer. And he talked about that from his heart.”
This is a transcript of the video of the moment Kirk is shot, which is extremely gruesome and I don’t recommend viewing:
ATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?
KIRK: Too many. [Applause]
ATTENDEE: In America, it’s five. Now, five is a lot, right, I’m going to give you — I’m going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?
KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?
He’s then shot.
Chaffetz was a House member from Utah for eight years, much of which he spent ginning up fake scandals about Hillary Clinton. The mother of his half-brother was Kitty Dukakis, the wife of Michael Dukakis (she died earlier this year).
What I find interesting about this is that it fits a sort of classic pattern of martyrology, in which a completely fictitious account of the person’s last words is passed on to and among the faithful. It seems odd that this tradition can be continued in the age of the internet’s panopticon, but the whole right wing “news” apparatus is built on the apparently valid assumption that people will swallow the most blatant and easily disprovable lies, if you just tell them what they want to hear.
