High-priced lies

The true purpose of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity is to vindicate President Trump’s claim that he lost the popular vote only because millions of illegal votes were cast for Hillary Clinton. The commission’s annual budget is $750 million.

If we were to establish and fund such a commission for each of even half the other lies Trump has told the public, our nation would surely be headed for the poorhouse.
