Tonight Donald Trump had a rally in Beaufort, SC, and while on stage, he repeated his campaign's earlier fabrication where they attributed a quote to Senator Tom Coburn that he never said.
The fake quote was identified and debunked by Jake Tapper, it was written about at multiple sites including here, and the offending Tweets were deleted; surely an admission of guilt. Even so, some two or more hours later, Donald Trump went ahead and repeated it and pretended that it was true in his ongoing effort to dishonestly smear Ted Cruz as, get this, dishonest.

Notice how CNN first puts it up there as fact and the guest has to correct. This, after it was CNN's own Jake Tapper who debunked the lie in the first place!
And there are simply no words for unhinged Trump shill Jeffrey Lord, who raves like a lunatic per his usual television performances trying to claim that the lie is not a lie because, after all, people don't like Ted Cruz. They rely on the adage "if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it." Which is why the truth of this post and this video should be repeated from here to there and everywhere else. The only way to combat an onslaught of lies is with an onslaught of truth.
It's truly despicable. There is no place for honesty in the Trump campaign. Just like there wouldn't be in a Trump presidency.
Shameful. Shameless. Ridiculous. Liar. TRUMP 2016.
Put it on a bumper sticker.
Not a lie.
Sen. Coburn: Cruz’s Ploy Was Dishonest
http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/sen-coburn-cruzs-ploy-was-dishonest
Redstate = Home of the stupid
Trump justifies his lies as a negotiation technique, what he calls truthful hyperbole. Trump has been a liar his entire life.
Watch the video.
It’s all there.
Did you post the video of Cruz lying?
....""It's an absolute fabrication. I've never said that, period," Coburn told the Examiner. "It's unfortunate he would use my name to say something dishonest. It's a total fabrication."
"To me, it's more of loose play with the truth and loose play with the words," Coburn said.
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.
"I've made no secret of my total disdain for Sen. Ted Cruz," Clifton wrote. "He epitomizes everything that's wrong with the Republican party. He is, without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in Washington and, in my opinion, a complete sociopath.".....
Gee, maybe if you Cruzbots post this one more time, it might stick.
We’re still voting for Trump :-D
Vote for a liar. That’s your right.
Nothing burger!
Vote for a liar. That’s your right.

Strange you guys can never tout Cruz, but instead post anti-Trump pieces endlessly.
And yep, we’re still voting for Trump. :-D
You Cruzbots are an angry lot.
Seriously.
Hot, hot, hot stuff.
Shocking.
Post it a few more times, please.
I don't think Artcore is voting for Cruz...
Feb 17, 2016: Ted Cruz and the South Carolina dentists
I suppose you DO HAVE your campaign commitments...
Nobody can generate excitement and enthusiasm like Ted “Mr. Haney” Cruz!

Do you have any idea what a clown you have become here?
Night after night you come here to post negative things about Trump.
It’s rather pathetic really.
I am glad you are on Ted’s side. He deserves you.
How will people know that a senator slammed Cruz's truthfulness and Trump mentioned it and then the senator objected?
I think you need to petition the mods to put it back, urgently!
If anything is breaking news in this country, this story should be at the very, very top.
Constantly.
Perpetually.
NO ONE...and I mean NO ONE can convince me to VOTE/SUPPORT anyone but TRUMP!!!
As a Born Again, Evangelical Charismatic Christian....I see some major problems with CRUZ....He’s codependent and double minded....
Trump is hard to defend, isn’t he?
Liars always are, especially when they’re so public about it - despite being exposed as serial liars.
Why are you trying to excuse him?
Why would you trust Trump?
