Whopper (Liar) Of The Year

Personally, I rely on the old saying "A politician is lying when their lips are moving." But it's always refreshing to browse the doozies one finds over at FactCheck.org.

"It’s been a banner year for political whoppers — and for one teller of tall tales in particular: "Donald Trump.
In the 12 years of FactCheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match.

"He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong...

"But Trump topped them all when he claimed to have seen nonexistent television coverage of “thousands and thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey cheering the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 — and then topped himself by demanding that fact-checkers apologize for exposing his claim as fantasy. And that’s only one example."
