In a recent Quinnipiac poll, the word most mentioned by respondents in association with Hillary Clinton was “liar.” The runners-up were “dishonest” and “untrustworthy” — offered by a combined 394 people. The next most common term, “experience,” was offered by 82.
Now Hillary’s solution to nearly her lowest favorability ratings in two decades of public life is to lie some more.
She was asked at the debate why she now opposes a trade deal that she heralded as “the gold standard” when she was secretary of State. She replied that she’d said she “hoped” it would be the gold standard. In truth, she had added no such qualifications.
Secretary Clinton said that after “looking at” the final deal last week, “it didn’t meet [her] standards.” At the White House press briefing yesterday, a reporter asked spokesman Josh Earnest, “Is it possible that she’s actually looked at it? Because I thought it hadn’t been posted or made public yet.”
“Yeah, I noticed that too,” Mr. Earnest smirked, before confirming that the text has not yet been released.
