Coburn: Trump-circulated quote attacking Cruz 'absolute fabrication'
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/2016 | Al Weaver

Posted on 02/16/2016 2:20:49 PM PST by icwhatudo

Former Sen. Tom Coburn is angry about being quoted in the latest Donald Trump attack on Ted Cruz.

Coburn called the quote an "absolute fabrication."

As part of his never-ending criticism of Cruz, Trump's Twitter feed retweeted and pushed a quote ostensibly from Coburn criticizing Cruz as "one of the most dishonest people" in Washington. Coburn never said this.

----snip---

Trump retweeted his social media director Dan Scavino, in turn quoting Coburn talking about the Texas senator. "He is, without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in D.C.," read the quote Scavino attributed to Coburn. However, the quote appears to come directly from progressive website ForwardProgressives.com and writer Allen Clifton, who used the exact language to describe Cruz.

It’s amazing how Trump lives rent free in so many heads!

Pavlov would be jealous...

I’ll dispute that. I’ll bet Trump does hammer staffers who are sloppy.

Don’t know. I think it was a higher up staffer, but I’m not sure.

Of course not. If he says Coburn said it, then Coburn said it, whether he actually said it or not. If he says he didn’t say it (and he didn’t), he’s lying because Trump says he said it.

No, he won’t. Because he doesn’t care. If he says it, it’s true.

Coburn’s a pro amnesty Lankford scumbag. I hope Trump wrecks him. Worst kind of 2010’s, 2000’s “conservative solutions” type member of congress.

Yeah...it's a movie.

Shows Trump is a narcissist...and a liar. And a man that only wants yes people around him...

A man that does what he wants when he wants..until finally someone says he can't. Cheats..whenever possible...Threatens to file suit whenever possible.

A man that say's he's worth millions / billions...when he's not even close.

A man that say's he has 900 million dollars in cash..when you better divide that be two...then divide that by 4.

A man that say's things outrageous...and then when caught laughs it off.....

He is not POTUS material....and if elected...we all will be screaming to high heaven!!

This is my opinion...but rarely do skunks lose their stripes.

Watch the film...jump around.........take your time.

I’m voting for Bozo instead:

1) He knows he’s a clown.
2) Better hair.
