She's a narcissist. The Congress is full of them. Narcs accuse you of doing what they do, because they don't know any different, they think everyone is like them. Narcs have no shame, no self-awareness, and will say and do anything if it benefits them. Lies and hypocrisy are her hammer and nails.
There's a lot of overlap. A sociopath is typically more anti-social, while narcissists care very much what people think of them, and put most of their energy into spinning social webs to control people. Narcs can be very charismatic, especially if they want something from you. A person raised by a narc gets their ugliest side, but their neighbors and co-workers think they're wonderful people. I'll stop there, because I could write a book.

How is that different than a sociopath? I feel like every narcissist is s sociopath and vice versa.
