Rethuglican candidates for President are confident that their party's base will swallow any easily disproved statement, from immigration policy to the President's citizenship and religion, to Planned Parenthood. One of the observations about the Rethugs after their 2012 defeat was that they lived in a fact-free bubble of their own making, and it's only gotten worse. This summer, it was narcissistic buffoon Donald "Rump" Trump, now it's the up-and-coming job killer Carly "Snarly" Fiorina spouting the nonsense and falsehoods. That seems to be the winning formula for attracting the Rethug base.
