Henry Payne for December 22, 2015

It’s been a banner year for political whoppers — and for one teller of tall tales in particular: Donald Trump.In the 12 years of FactCheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match.He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong./http://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/the-king-of-whoppers-donald-trump/

Bernie had it right; Trump is the pathological liar, far outstripping the efforts of all others, especially Hillary. I don’t like her, but this meme needs to go away with Trump, Cruz, and Rubio out there.

Payne, what difference does it make if what happened in Benghazi was caused by a video or if it was planned?Here is the entire quote:-“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear, it is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on in the meantime.”

Any statement taken out of context is the same as a lie.
