As the US Republican Party is a de facto fascist organization now, committed to attaining power by any means available, it is not surprising that it seeks to prevent any facts emerging that contradict the infantile lies they successfully feed to the low-IQ citizens who reflexively vote for mindless soundbites.
We can expect to see the Republican Party advocating a Ministry of Truth to promote the doublespeak they have been employing for years now, thus fulfilling Orwell's vision in 1984. But even Orwell, with his realistically skeptical view of human nature, would never have imagined that Big Brother would turn out to be an obese whining infantile orange moron. Just goes to show how smart Republican voters really are, that they embrace such a pathetically inadequate creature as their waddling messiah.
