Ted Cruz falsely claimed Clinton appointed her when it was Reagan.

No, Cruz was correct. Reagan appointed her to the Federal court; Clinton appointed her to Court of Appeals.

But Cruz DIDN’T SAY that Reagan originally appointed her. Omitting that creates the lie of omission Ted is deliberately telling. Ted has to omit that to make the point she, and by association Trump are flaming liberals. If Ted mentioned the fact Reagan originally appointed her the idea she and Trump are flaming liberals can’t be made.

That is how lies of omission work. I can’t believe I have to explain it in this amount of detail.

When you watch Ted does that all the time, and so do many here on FR.

Lie of omission;

“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”
