Gotta commit to that obvious lie

There's a funny YouTube video called "How to get out of a speeding ticket" where a guy gets pulled over and tells the cop he's racing to the hospital because his wife is giving birth.  The cop follows him to the hospital where the speeder finds an accomplice to pretend he's the father.  But the cop follows the (new) couple for decades as "their" child grows up and the guy has to stick to the lie.

That's how I feel about both the Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre book tours: they're just going to deny the evidence of your eyes and ears.  Mediate: "‘Really?’ Kamala Harris Stuns Jon Stewart By Declaring Biden Was ‘Competent’ To Serve Another Four Years."

I think the reason this question gets asked over and over is because there's a kind of disbelief that people can lie so obviously and boldly.  It's also the reason why Joe Biden was asked dozens of times whether he would pardon Hunter.  Nobody believed his denial.
