The steamroller of lies continued on the third day of the MAGA cult's coronation last night. There were some whoppers from the speakers, and some from the rubber stamp VP selection's speech. From CNN, which has the full explanation of why these statements don't pass the smell test:
- Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée and former Fox News host, slammed Biden for his handling of the economy in her speech on the third night of the Republican National Convention.
- Republican National Committee chairman Michael Whatley said in his opening remarks at the party convention on Wednesday: “Our economy is not nearly as strong as it was four years ago.”
- Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich claimed that “President Trump orchestrated an orderly end to the Afghanistan war with no American killed in nearly two years.”
- Florida Rep. Brian Mast claimed at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday that the Biden administration has distracted the military “with millions of hours of so-called extremism training.”
- Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas claimed in his Republican National Convention speech on Wednesday that there has been “record-high inflation” under the Biden administration.
The number two (scatalogically speaking) guy on the MAGA ticket introduced himself to America in true Trumpian form...by lying:
- Former President Donald Trump’s choice for vice president, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, insinuated in his speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday that Trump had opposed the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
- Vance said that "A career politician by the name of Joe Biden supported NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to Mexico.”
More here at the Washington Post. Thankfully the spectacle will conclude tonight with the third time crowning of the Malignant Loser by his worshipful cult. We expect the fact checkers will be working overtime again.
BONUS: Check out this moronic behavior aping their cult leader's bandage. The last one with the Scotch tape is priceless. What if he'd been shot in his ass?
