On Getting Caught In a Lie


Funny thing about fact-checking
. Sometimes, when you least expect it, you will see something happen which is quite embarrassing to the person being fact-checked. And there is no way can he say this fact-checker is full of it. 

It was all reported by Fox Business.
 
On Tuesday, during the Vice Presidential debate, Tampon Tim decided to claim something totally untrue about the Donald Trump Tax Cut. He said that the Trump-era tax cuts  "predominantly went to the top guys" and benefited America's wealthy.

Donald Trump made a promise, and I'll give you this, he kept it. He took books to Mar-a-Lago, said: 'you're rich as hell, I'm going to give you a tax cut…' What happened? There was an $8 trillion increase in the national debt, the largest ever. Now he's proposing a 20% consumption or sales tax on everything we bring in. Everyone agrees, including businesses, it would be destabilizing. It would increase inflation and potentially lead to a recession," Walz said.

Great talking point. But a total lie.

In fact, he would not dare refute the source of the fact-check. If he only had read a little report on Tuesday morning, he would know he should not have made such a claim. Instead, he got caught

According to a September 2020 report from the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, middle income Americans are the ones who saw the "biggest decrease in total tax liability" between 2017 and 2018 when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect.

That report was issued to the Senate, when Kammy was a member by an agency the Democrats weaponized under Obama called the Internal Revenue Service.

Oops.

I guess we were shown that he was either a bigger liar than we thought or just the dumbest person running in this election cycle. Which is it, Timbo?

You can’t go around saying something you should have known to be untrue, and then when you get caught, claim you “misspoke”. No Tim. You are a liar. Or dumb. Which is it?

And any good standing with Americans you thought you had, you have certainly lost. Because you LIED TO US. Big time.

And Americans do not forget that.
