Denying an obvious fact because acknowledging it would lead to a loss of power, influence, or income. From an adage attributed to early 20th century journalist Upton Sinclair :"It is hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it."

Ted Cruz was caught Sinclairing again in an interview where he claimed to not remember fleeing Texas during the Feb. 2021 energy grid breakdown.
