More examples of Republican moral relativism

Following up on this post, which I also posted on FB, a conservative therein asked exactly what Republicans do this. My response:

All the Republicans that are trying to defund Planned Parenthood due to illegally selling body parts. 12 States now have exonerated PP of these charges, yet those same Republicans still use this disproven argument not based on any facts.

Another example is the faux rationale for voter ID, a Republican legislative agenda in several states. It has been empirically proven time and again that the amount of documented voter fraud is a miniscule fraction of 1 percent. And yet these Republicans via the American Legislative Exchange Council continue to use this as their narrative as if the actual facts don't matter.


Another prime example is Republicans in Congress, some even on the science committee, denying climate change. They maintain a narrative that is counter to the vast majority of actual climate science research. Those few scientists who declaim it are themselves on the oil company payrolls, like the Kock-funded research. So again, maintaining a narrative as if it is just as good as any other with no factual basis.
