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.”
Oh, and Trump makes sure to provide compete background and context for every comment he makes, right? Cruz did not make a false statement and he didn't commit a "lie of omission", because the fact that Reagan appointed her to the District court is really immaterial - she didn't have any record as a judge then, and judges at that level cannot create precedent. But she DID have a very liberal judicial record when Clinton elevated her to the Circuit Court. So just because you don't like what Cruz said because it highlights the liberal record of Trump's sister does not make what he said untrue. And by claiming he lied, YOU are the one making the false statement.
Why is it that whenever the Trump supporters don't like the inconvenient facts being pointed out about Trump, they always yell "liar!" Even when the proof is right in front of them, often in Trump's own words, they will call people liars for pointing out the facts.
