What part of the eminent domain ad is a lie?
He dropped the purchase and the lady’s house was never bulldozed. It is still standing unless her family has sold it to someone else.
Let me be clear. Those are the facts in my previous post. I’ve yet to see the ad.
The most glaring lie is that eminent domain abuse made Trump rich.
If you listen very carefully to the ad, it never actually says Trump bulldozed the house. It is carefully crafted to give the viewer the impression that Trump bulldozed the house and threw the poor little old lady out on the street.
Actually, Trump offered the woman far more than what the house was worth and she refused, possibly because she was holding out for more money.
The city, thinking that casino development was the key to getting the city boatloads of tax money (and the public benefits that money would bring), stepped in and condemned the house and tried to evict her. She fought the city and Trump in court, and won. Two decades later, the house was sold and then eventually it was torn down.
The ad dishonestly avoids mentioning the court case and the fact that she never spent a single day homeless. The Cruz campaign didn't want people to know that because it would make it seem that Trump and his cronies weren't as powerful as they wanted the viewers to believe.
That's the way slimy politicians get elected.
