Lies add to Clinton’s untrustworthiness
Published 9:00 am Thursday, August 4, 2016
There is a good reason Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has such a high disapproval rating when it comes to trustworthiness, and that is because she has a pattern of not telling the truth.
According to a New York Times/CBS survey taken in July, 67 percent of voters say Clinton is not honest or trustworthy. This is very telling about the candidate.

On occasion after occasion, Clinton has been dishonest with the American people, whether it be lying about coming under sniper fire when she landed at a Bosnian airport as first lady in the 1990s; claiming she and husband Bill Clinton were dead broke when they left the White House; lying about her personal email server; or lying about Benghazi by telling the American people and a mother of one of the fallen at his funeral that the attack was the result of a video tape.
The laundry list of Hillary Clinton’s lies goes on and on. She must really believe that the American people are too stupid to see through her falsehoods.
We would argue that the American people are plenty smart and are onto Clinton’s lies, as evidenced by the survey mentioned.
Apparently, The Washington Post, hardly a conservative newspaper, is on to Clinton’s lies as well. The Post recently gave Clinton four Pinocchios, its worst ranking, after she said in a recent interview that FBI Director James Comey said her answers about her personal email server were truthful.
The fact is, Comey never said she was truthful in regard to her personal email server. Comey said Clinton’s repeated claims that she never sent or received marked classified using her personal email server were not true.
In giving the four Pinocchios, The Post wrote, “Clinton is cherry-picking statements by Comey to preserve her narrative about the unusual setup of a private email server. This allows her to skate past the more disturbing findings of the FBI investigation. While Comey did say to Congress there was no evidence she lied to the FBI, that is not the same as saying she told the truth to the American public.”

The Post also ripped Clinton apart, rightfully so, for claiming the information was not classified at the time.
It is also worth mentioning that Clinton hasn’t held a news conference in 243 days.
Why?
It quite possibly could be that she doesn’t want to be asked questions by reporters in regarding all of these lies.
Hillary Clinton has proven in her time in the spotlight that she cannot be trusted and that she deserves to be called out on this at every occasion.
This country can ill afford a commander in chief who has lied to the American people for all of this time.
