    According to charging documents filed by the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office

Hypocrisy and shamelessness are innate to today's Republican party, and they cannot survive as a viable national party if they told the truth and behaved with integrity. And Republican politicians also cannot win their primaries if they behaved with integrity and told the truth to their voters.

When your policies are extreme and unpopular, you have to lie to the American people in order to maintain power. All that lying leads to hypocrisy. You take an extreme stance against abortion even though you supported it when it impacted you. You spout self-righteous pithy lines on "family values" but engage in extramarital affairs with escorts, have pregnancies outside marriage or don't take care of children you had outside of a marriage. You or your loved ones are gay, but you support anti-LGBT legislation.

It's not wonder so many Republican scandals are rooted in hypocrisy.
