Hillary attacks Ted Cruz with ‘a totally indefensible straight up lie’
Biz Pac Review ^ | December 2, 2015 | Tom Tillison

Posted on 12/03/2015 1:18:04 PM PST by Isara

While Republican presidential contenders join with much of the world in focusing on the greatest risk to stability today — Islamic State militants, not climate change — Hillary Clinton insisted Ted Cruz wants to ban contraceptives.

Even though it’s not *exactly* true.

Pulling a page out of the Barack Obama’s campaign playbook, this time without the assistance of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Clinton is wanting to shift the conversation away from a foreign policy disaster she helped create by trying to push social issues to the fore.

Ted Cruz says no one is trying to ban contraception. Here are five times he tried to do *exactly* that: https://t.co/qrRW0tGtFD

Jiminy Cricket!

Internal polling must show that Clinton matches up well by hitting Cruz on this nonissue. Either way, Democrats only seem to be comfortable when they control the narrative.

But social media was not so easily convinced. In fact, Clinton’s reasoning behind the claim exaggerated the truth to such a degree, that folks called it for what it is — “a totally indefensible straight up lie,” according to many tweets.

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

The asterisks @HillaryClinton used in her tweet about @tedcruz banning birth control were to tell you she’s lying.

@amandacarpenter @HillaryClinton @tedcruz That it was coming from Hillary Clinton was also probably enough, really.

- Gerry Daly (@GerryDales) December 2, 2015

@amandacarpenter @LewisCountyCruz @HillaryClinton @tedcruz The only time Hilary is not lying is…. ok she never stops.. sorry

- john hancock (@johnhan79583770) December 2, 2015

@amandacarpenter @HillaryClinton @tedcruz She should use asterisks when she’s **NOT** lying.

This is *exactly* the most blatant lie to date of campaign 2016. https://t.co/GNYKWoAW48

- Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) December 2, 2015

Except the asterisks make you think she REALLY, ACTUALLY, LITERALLY, **EXACTLY** means it. So really, totally indefensible straight up lie.

- Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) December 2, 2015

@kerpen At least we didn't have to wait for Stephanopoulos to make the claim this time.

- John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) December 2, 2015

@kerpen They are forced to defend irrational arguments so that they will believe irrational statements. Yes, it makes sense. Think about it.

Do you understand contraception is different than abortion? No. @HillaryClinton

- Ryan B. Leslie (@RyanBLeslie) December 2, 2015

@HillaryClinton Bubba has his own brand of contraceptives. How cool is that? pic.twitter.com/M5ygkRaFer

She’s feeling the heat. Today she was asked if we are as she claims to believe all women who allege sexual assault/rape shouldn’t we believe Juanitta Broadrick, Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones.

Haha

Hillary is a pathological liar. While most or nearly all politicians lie, her go way over the top to a point where she does not seem mentally sound.

Not wanting Federal government involvement in the distributing of contraception is NOT banning it.

You can get contraceptives at Wal-Mart for as low as $9/month.

If that’s too expensive, go buy a condom from any condom vending machine for between $0.50 to $1 each. They are less expensive when they are bought in boxes that contain several condoms.

It is HILLARY WHO IS LYING.

By the very definution of “contraceptive”, abortion is not a contraceptive.

It’s a hashtag world. All they need to do is attach the one they want to Cruz and their troops will show up for them. Also, this is the sort of thing young voters fall for.
