Maybe next McClain will claim that Trump is responsible for curing polio.
But in reality, why would facts matter to McClain — a first-term member of Congress who voted to reject the 2020 election results after the January 6 attack — when speaking at a Trump rally? Neither she nor Trump was there to educate voters but rather to spew pro-Trump propaganda designed to bolster the former President at the expense of our democratic republic.
