WAPO Calls Out: GOP Candidates - "Shameless fibbing"

[kpete]

Here’s another way candidates copy Donald Trump: Shameless fibbing

..............

“Word is,” Trump said last month on Twitter, “that Ford Motor, because of my constant badgering at packed events, is going to cancel their deal to go to Mexico and stay in U.S.”

It didn’t.

“Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain,’?” said former tech executive Carly Fiorina during the second GOP debate, suggesting that she had seen such a video.

She hadn’t.

“I’m not going to say it is a mistake, so forget about it,” said retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, asked about his claims that he had received a scholarship offer from West Point, when he hadn’t actually applied to the school.

1. Lying. It is LYING! Not "fibbing"! These pathological liars want to run the world, and that is not

a fib! Children tell fibs, adults running for President tell LIES! See the difference?

Say it mass media, I know you can - "The GOP is full of liars".

[merrily]

2. Agree. Little kids fib about things like who hit whom first. Adults running for President lie.

3. The GOP is built on lies. Problem is there's never been so many brazen liars on stage at once.

In past election cycles there were always some candidates to point to as fairly honest (albeit wrong). I don't see that this year.

7. "Fibbing"? What a childish word.

5. Good for them, though the same could apply to their warmongering editorial page.
