Holy Shit. > “Of course, I would never lie,” she writes. “How do you get through Oxford, Harvard, and Georgetown without sourcing? Without truthful, well-sourced, well-researched information? More importantly, as a woman of faith, a Christian, and a new mother, telling the truth was in my nature and central to my family life and faith walk.” She is lying about lying. ---

Being educated at respected places of higher learning just means she is trained in **how** to find and use reliable sources for her claims. It’s no guarantee she will use them. Being a Christian just means that when she lies, she is not only a reprehensible human being but she is also violating one of the core tenets of her faith. Being a mother means that when lying she is a terrible role model for her offspring. All that her testimony is doing is demonstrating why she has **no excuses**. None of that is in any way a credible defense. ---

I won’t speculate on who she blew to get through those universities, but since she is blatantly lying about 2 of the last 3, her credibility is lower than that of CFSG. And that’s **low**. ---

I think McAninny defines “truth” as “what I want to be true.” So, she didn’t lie about what we she wanted to be true. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Being a Christian just means that when she lies, she is not only a reprehensible human being but she is also violating one of the core tenets of her faith. Technically, no. The thing in exodus 20 says “_thou shalt not bear false witness **against thy neighbor** _”. It is not a blanket injunction about spewing bullshit, merely about defamation. Lying and bullshit are fundamental to the stability of our economy. It would collapse if everyone was expected to be decent and honest. And anyway, Christains have that thing where they can eat a biscuit and drink some grape juice and their bleeding messiah will make them all good to go – and, lather, rinse, repeat. ---
