Donald Trump claims Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare
Donald Trump gave a speech at a campaign rally in which he claimed that Ted Cruz was one of the deciding votes for Chief Justice John Roberts and because the Chief Justice voted in favor of the individual mandate and preserved Obamacare it means that Ted Cruz is responsible for Obamacare.
Here is the video:
It is hard to blame any Republican, even the RINOs, for Obamacare (we can blame them for their false attempts at trying to repeal it when they had no intention of doing so) considering it passed with not one single Republican vote but Donald Trump tried to do so. However there is just one small problem with Donald Trump’s claim and that is this: Chief Justice Roberts was nominated to the Supreme Court by George Bush and was confirmed to the Supreme Court in 2005 while Ted Cruz did not win his election to the Senate until 2012 and was not sworn in until 2013.
So either Donald Trump is lying or he honestly has no idea what the hell he is talking about and I do not know which is worse.
After making this absurd and easily proven fallacy Donald Trump had the unmitigated gall and the hubris to actually state that the one thing he hates is a liar. I guess Donald Trump has not looked in the mirror lately…
malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

Anybody else notice that nobody on the platform behind the Donald is paying him any attention? Could that be why he’s getting away with such verbal flatulence?

Maybe that’s what it is. I did notice one person nodding enthusiastically in agreement, apparently he wasn’t really listening to what Trump was saying either.
