Yes, but it's in the content of what they say.  Same awful problem with Young Earth Creationists, Flat Earthers, Anti-vax Conspiracists, Never-Flew-To-The-Moon Conspiracists, etc.

Sure Trumpers can say that I'm lying when I say that Biden legitimately won the presidential election in 2020.  They call me "liar" and I call them "liar".  Litigation is full of "he said, she said" or "they say, we say" litigants.  They can't *all* be telling the truth.  So then the jurists must examine what is said, what the evidence is and the quality of the evidence, and the logic behind the claims and how it comports to the evidence.
