The quote from Cruz that shows he lied. In order to determine whether Cruz lied, one must first be in a position to judge the veracity of the statement in question. It is a fairly simple matter. Cruz makes a statement. Then someone else determines whether the statement is true or false. If the statement turns out to be false, then the case can be made whether it was done so with the intent to deceive.

So let's start with the statement. What statement did Ted Cruz make that you consider to be a lie?

I think that’s the point.

People keep saying the “big lie” — that is, Cruz lied about something.

Well, the best they’ve got is Cruz staffer was supposedly overenthusiastic repeating a CNN report that may or may not have been completely accurate. That’s not a lie.

Now, it IS a lie to keep accusing people of dishonesty when they are not dishonest.

In fact, it falls squarely under the top 10 big things to do or not do.
