For many, the only thing more shocking than the acts described during President Trump's ongoing impeachment hearings has been Republicans willingness to stand by Trump despite the evidence against him.
Those who were around in the 1970's have been reminded of how some Republicans stood by an obviously corrupt President Nixon. In fact, the Republican response is so similar in some ways that Jimmy Kimmel was able to create a viral sensation by getting random conservatives to defend Nixon by accident.
In the latest edition of "Lie Witness News," Kimmel reveals that some Republicans will stand by Trump no matter what he does.

The biggest mystery?
Why would these people let their clips air on TV?
