Zito, should I pretend for the moment that you know of an βhonestβ politician that never told a lie?
Truth is that in the political arena there are many shades of gray when they speak. We should remember that if they mis-speak or are taken out of context the opposition scores it as a βlieβ.
Here is her score card from PolitiFacts:
The PolitiFact scorecard
β’ True53 ( 22%)(53)
β’ Mostly True67 ( 28%)(67)
β’ Half True50 ( 21%)(50)
β’ Mostly False34 ( 14%)(34)
β’ False27 ( 11%)(27)
β’ Pants on Fire5 ( 2%)(5)
And when I say relatively, I compare her to her opposition β as that seems most relevant.
Trumps card:
The PolitiFact scorecard
β’ True9 ( 4%)(9)
β’ Mostly True24 ( 11%)(24)
β’ Half True32 ( 15%)(32)
β’ Mostly False32 ( 15%)(32)
β’ False78 ( 36%)(78)
β’ Pants on Fire40 ( 19%)
Oh, Good luck with that...
