Surprisingly, one of the Republican candidates has admitted he/she lied about something. This is big, considering how one candidate claims to have not been involved with a scam he endorsed, another lied about calling another Mark Zuckerberg's personal senator, another, etc.
Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina acknowledged that she was incorrect during last week’s primary debate when she claimed “92 percent of the jobs lost during [President] Barack Obama’s first term belonged to women.”
After the debate, fact checkers pointed out Fiorina had recycled the statistic from former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who first made the claim in the 2012 election. It rated “Mostly False” by Politifact four years ago.
"I misspoke on that particular fact," Fiorina said on ABC’s “This Week.”
What was her rationale?
Fiorina then criticized the “liberal media” for picking apart the statistic rather than her broader argument, which was that liberal polices are bad for women economically.
Hell, we all know politics like to spin statistics. Things like "In 2004, Bush got more votes than anyone in history (and leave out the population increase or the fact that his nearest rival, who was extremely close and got the 2nd most), or "more people will get married than ever before (back when it was morning in America). Carly needs to just admit she wants more tax cuts for people like her instead of lying or trying to lie by spinning statistics.
Carly is no friend of the female electorate. Not in terms of economic policies, fair and equal pay, abortion choice, nor in truth telling.
