Traitors.
On Monday the Examiner learned that U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., was in negotiations with U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on a compromise gun control bill that would vastly expand background checks to include private transactions, citizen to citizen.
No sooner had the Examiner published the stunning information that took even moderate Republicans off guard than Toomey's office was in damage control mode, denying that the senator was involved in any deal on gun control.
One of Toomey's constituents told the Examiner that he had contacted the senator's office personally to complain about the Toomey-Manchin compromise deal. He was told that the information was false, that the reporter who conveyed the information was wrong, and that the entire thing was the doing of Sen. Manchin's office, which was sending out false information in an attempt to pressure Toomey into a deal.
On Tuesday other constituents reported that they, too, had contacted Toomey's office to complain. But they, too, were told that the senator had no plans to compromise and that no deal was in the works.
Today, however, it turns out that everything Toomey and his staff had been telling constituents and the media about the gun control compromise deal was patently false. Toomey lied to his constituents.

Why is anyone surprised that Toomey lied? It's not the first time he's done it.
