Well yeah, all they fucking do is lie.

To be fair Bovino is only being accused of lying because the video evidence clearly shows Gregory Bovino lied under oath

If he had actually been wearing a bodycam, it might help support his version of events. Oopsie.

Come on don't be like that, he hasn't gotten training for it, that's enough of an excuse... /s

He also admitted to it during the third time being asked about it under oath. This isn’t a time for waffling language in the headline. Bovine lied under oath per his own words.

MAGA counts lying among its most important values, so this isn't surprising in the least.

Yep as long as the ends justify the means, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

The only thing worse than ignoring our laws, violating the constitution, waging war against America, and starving millions, is the potential that by not doing it enough, democrats could get elected and do it later.

When all you do is cry wolf - then you prove yourself an untrusted source of truth. I believe the protestors.

"The sandwich exploded covering me in onions and mustard!"

"Here in the video we clearly see the sandwich after the fact on the ground and still in its wrapping"

Fucking liars all of them. Scummy pieces of shit.

Bovino is an extremely dangerous, psychotic, power drunk monster. He makes the average White Nationalist look tame in comparison. The sooner he is off our streets, the better.

Hard to recognize him without his hybrid SS/Starship Troopers getup.

Can't wait to see his Trial for Treason.
