There now needs to be a new word when mere “exaggeration” and “overstatement” do not offer the strength of just how far off base are someone’s comments.
To help explain what is coming out of the mouths of people like Schiff, Pelosi and Nadler lately, we need a one word expression for the sum of:
erroneous, false, inaccurate, incorrect, inexact, invalid, off, unsound, untrue, untruthful, wrong, counterfactual, specious, spurious, deceptive, delusive, delusory, distorted, fallacious, fictitious, illusory, misleading, amiss, askew, awry, dishonest, fraudulent, mendacious, unproven, untested, fabricated, invented, made-up, trumped-up
I’m a fan of “risible”
