There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

Sen. Roger Marshall says he didn't have the pregnant patient arrested over a $50 late bill. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS AND DEFAMATORY!!! He had her arrested for not showing up to court when he sued her for being late for $50.
