On some level I wonder if he has some kind of undiagnosed mental health issue and can’t wrap his head around reality, and then is driven by a lying compulsion disorder. His level of lying about just about everything (and sometimes contradictory lies about the same thing), for no apparent reason, just seems to be compulsive at this point. And like Trump with his crime compulsion, getting into politics is shining a giant spotlight on him that anyone that could do critical thinking would see would lead them being caught/called out/held accountable.
There’s a concept in politics called the gish-gallop. Also called firehose of lies. It’s a time honored tradition, but in the past it was usually multiple people spewing crazy shit until they got called out too hard, at which point they’d quiet down and someone else would rotate in to take the heat.
With the way congressional districts are drawn, and now that they’ve seen Trump successfully accomplish this as a single person, to me the simplest explanation becomes that these liars lie because they know there won’t be any immediate consequences, and that the more they can squeeze out, the less likely any given piece of it will be addressed.

It’s called being a Republican… there’s no cure.
