The thing that struck me most over the hour and 11 minutes, the longest acceptance speech ever where the lies were the lies. Fact checkers and experts counted somewhere upwards of 22, 23 lies. I heard one as high as 125. There was a barrage of lying as high as 25. There was a barrage of lying. When you stood back and looked at it and got out of the weeds of the things that he said that were demonstrably not true, or merely misleading, and you stepped back, what you saw was an hours long violation of federal law.
