It's not just the news that's allegedly fake. According to some Republicans in Alabama, members of their own party have been outed as so-called fakes.

Long chairs the Stop the Alabama Gas Tax PAC, which opposes a 10 cent gas tax increase. Al.com reported: On Thursday, the group sent out another press release introducing a new directory of “Fake Republicans.” The directory lists all the House Republicans and places a red “Fake Republican” logo over the eyes of 59 Republican House members who voted in support of the legislation, including House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, state Rep.
