You don't even have to look past the current President, who is the most prominent member of the Republican party and to a degree the political rightwing in the US. He tells outright lies on a regular basis.

He lies about trivially verifiable things like the weather and number of people at his inauguration, past statements he has made, about whether any presidents between Reagan and himself have cut taxes, about peoples faces openly bleeding from a facelift, about CNN/WaPo/NYT "failing", about the murder rate, etc, etc, etc.

Here's a decent list to get started, for anyone interested. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/stateme...

Note that not everything on that list is an outright lie. Many of them are, but not all of them.
