Amanda Marcotte : Donald Trump repeatedly lied about the New Orleans attack.

Marcotte says the president's willingness to repeat lies is a show of loyalty to his followers.

She says the GOP is using sheer force of repetition to drown out the truth.

She notes that Republicans are expected to repeat and defend the outrageous lie, even if the truth is not true.

Julian Zelizer : Trump 's followers receive his lies as an intoxicating promise: that they, too, can be released from duty to be honest.

Zelizer says for GOP leaders, there are rewards in being disinformation parrots, as evidenced by Johnson 's endorsement of Trump endorsement this week .

He says Johnson 's power is largely an illusion, dependent entirely on the mercurial whims of his master; if Trump decides tomorrow that he's displeased with Johnson 's supplication, he can call for the end of Johnson 's career, and congressional Republicans will immediately throw the speaker out.
