For instance, few Republicans are willing to talk about how President Donald Trump is on track to grow the deficit by 74% since he took office, surpassing $1 trillion. Few discuss how he's added nearly $3 trillion to the national debt.

Trump's own Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, recently admitted this hypocrisy in a speech covered by the Washington Post.

Mulvaney said:


People seized upon Mulvaney's comments.

In addition to pointing out his party's hypocrisy, Mulvaney dismissed the threat imposed by climate change.

When asked why the United States wasn't using more of its resources to curtail the growing threat, Mulvaney said:

"We take the position in my party that asking people to change their lifestyle dramatically, including by paying more taxes, is simply not something we are interested in doing."

It appears Mulvaney's speech was a night of rare brutal honesty from this administration.
