REALITY CHECK : 12 Blatant Hillary Debate Lies Debunked
by
While the moderator focused on interrupting and fact-checking Trump, Hillary Clinton offered a litany of lies to the nation on Monday night during her first debate against Donald Trump.
Clinton’s nose began to grow from the very start, as she asserted that the nation needs to “finally guarantee equal pay for equal work” for women in her opening statement. The notion that women on average do not receive the same pay as men — the 77 cents to a dollar myth — has been proven false repeatedly.
When confronted by Trump about her former strong support for the Trans Pacific Partnership, Clinton claimed that she “hoped it would be good deal.” The truth of course is that she called it the “gold standard” of trade deals.

The fact is that it is already illegal to pay men and women different wages for the same work if they have the same experience. The 77 cents myth is derived from looking merely at average income accrued over a lifetime, and ignores the fact that men on average tend to work longer hours, often work in higher paying industries, and spend more active years in the work force.
When confronted by Trump about her former strong support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Clinton claimed that she “hoped it would be good deal.” The truth of course is that she called it the “gold standard” of trade deals.
Clinton also advocated raising taxes on the wealthy based on the premise that they do not currently pay enough. “I think it’s time to suggest that the wealthy pay their fair share,” she said. The truth however is that America have the most progressive tax system in the developed world — the top 10 percent contribute over half of all income tax revenue.
Bizarrely, Clinton claimed that “slashing taxes on the wealthy hasn’t worked.” Her comment implied that slashing taxes on the wealthy is why the economy is in such poor shape currently. This is odd thing to say considering Obama has been in office for the better part of eight years and has done anything but slash taxes for anyone.
When Trump said he wished to lower the corporate tax rate, Hillary said “we’ve looked at your tax proposals. I don’t see changes in the corporate tax rates … you’re referring to that would cause the repatriation.”
Clinton and her team couldn’t have been looking very hard, as Trump’s plan to lower to corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15 is written quite clearly on the economic plan posted on his website.
Taking time to remind the country that Clinton’s success is due in large part to her surname, she asserted that “my husband did a pretty good job in the 1990s.” Clinton, like all Democrats, loves to take credit for the financial stability of her husband’s presidency. Of course, it was the Republican-controlled congress led by Newt Gingrich that blocked Clinton’s desired spending measures balanced the budget.
Clinton also claimed that in being party to the Iran deal she helped “put the lid on Iran’s nuclear program.” But many said the deal guarantees no such thing. Indeed, it rests entirely on Iran’s acting in good faith and upholding their end of the bargain.
When Trump defended the use of stop-question-and-frisk policies in New York City, Clinton attacked them as unconstitutional and asserted “it was uneffective it did not do what it needed to do.” This is simply false.
“Data from the few cities that report police stops show their effectiveness,” Dennis C. Smith, professor of public policy at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University, wrote in the New York Times in 2012 .
“My trend analysis with SUNY Albany professor Robert Purtell found that the increased use of stops correlated significantly with accelerating drops in most of the major crimes. A Harvard study of policing in Los Angeles under William Bratton, when crime dropped significantly, reported a surge in stops by the L.A.P.D. (with per capita stop rate higher than N.Y.P.D.),” Smith continued.
Perhaps Clinton’s most egregious lies were two concerned with emails. “I made a mistake using a private email,” Clinton said. Of course, Clinton didn’t use a “private email.” She used multiple private email servers. The word mistake implies Clinton didn’t know she was doing anything wrong, a claim belied entirely by the fact that so many of her aides and associates pled the Fifth or were granted immunity by the FBI, not to mention the fact that many of them engaged in the destruction of evidence and that she herself made false exculpatory statements.
Finally, in visiting her favorite Trump-Putin conspiracy theory, Clinton claimed that “Donald publicly invited Putin to hack into Americans.” The truth, as is obvious from the context of his words, is that Trump was calling on the Russians to release Clinton’s missing emails in the event that they already had them.
Clinton may have proven her ability to hold her own against Trump one on one Monday night, but she also proved her complete disregard for the truth and willingness to lie boldfaced to the American people.

[…] Trump’s Campaign Manager KellyAnne Conway was pretty pleased along with his performance and his restraint in the face of Hillary’s mudslinging personal attacks and non-stop lies. […]
Kelly, he needs to keep hammering her on the emails and BENGHAZI. My biggest issue is the four lives we lost in BENGHAZI because of her negligence. And he needs to stop I, Me My-ing himself. We all know his great accomplishments as a successful business tycoon.
Hi Truthfeed,
Can you please share the sources for the facts you say prove Hillary is lying?
Thanks!
If you are in college, then you have probably learned to google. What better source than video of Hillary’s own words. Right? FBI is also a great source. You might could locate the man who was arrested for making a video which she blamed the attack on while knowing full well that was a lie. Good luck on your paper.
Can you please cite your sources? I want to use some of this in a college paper, but I have to use verifiable sources.
Thanks!
Can you please verify these claims you are making with actual sources?
Sadly, Crooked Hickory displayed great poise indicating that preparing her lies for the last ten years to achieve her agenda to be the first woman president paid off. Since Trump only decided on the fly last year to run, he is not as prepared and in control of the very passion that many of us smarter Americans appreciate. Please stay in control Donald for us who cannot stand the thought of four more years of riots, a new Liberal Supreme Court Justice, holding hands with Iran and Saudi Arabia, paying for the schooling and food and housing for illegal immigrants, refugees, more people playing the race card and system for hand outs. Mainly, I am afraid for my kids who were raised middle class by parents who owned a small business and a cop. Undeniably, more blue lives will not matter.
Voting for Hillary is NOT “smart!” The reasons are far too many to write about here, which is why dozens of books have been written about the issue.
Donald you really need a fact sheet to counter all her lies! She cannot get away with lying with a smile. You do not need to defend your accomplishments. Many people are given money from family and just live off it – you chose to work with it, adding many jobs to the economy. Facts from her past to prove what she says is a lie – she’s a master at lying and knows it! She’s gotten away with behaviors that would put any one of us in jail. God bless you.
What a joke – truthfeed? Thats what you call yourself? Where are your FACTS, backing your claims? Whoever writes this garbage is puking up nothing but disproved prattle. We have the best, most advanced taxation system in the world? Really? So ALL of the conservative “patriots” who read this dribble love their tax situation and think the rich are doing their part to improve our nation? Ha! What a load!
Why should achieving the American Dream come with a penalty? Why is there such hatred for successful people in this country. Sure…we can tax them into oblivion. After all, our government does such a great job of putting funds to good use. Or…maybe we let them hold on to some of it and put money back into the US economy, expand and add jobs, etc.
She wasn t lying. It was Trump that was incongruent with his feedback. He did keep himself together for the first twenty teo minutes then lost What with Benghazr. And emails. It is done ! Move On Bush lost over two million emails in his presidency. He is not president material because of his temperament he lies is crooked racist homophobic. Islamophobic and most of all he is a narcissist that believes he is above all.
It was Obama who initiated the saving of all government emails for history, therefore, GWB did nothing by destroying any emails, as it was not legally required to keep them. Trump has NEVER said anything that could possibly be perceived as “homophobic!” Neither is he “Islamophobic!” He believes that all nonAmericans should come into our country LEGALLY! That is what our law says, that istens of thousands of Blacks and Hispanics in OUR country! Many years ago, Palm Beach County would not allow Blacks to join Country Clubs! Trump took them to Court–and won!how all other countries handle it! No borders, no country! As for hi, being “racist,” he has given jobs to many th
Innocent till proven guilty, using taking the fifth or others immunity deals does not mean she did anything wrong. Just to clarify, I believe she did illegally hand classified information, but not because of the arguments put forth in this article. The arguments put here are not proof. For example, if I take the fifth it means I don’t want to say anything whether I did or did not do anything wrong because I don’t want someone to twist my words to make it look like I was wrong or to not actually incriminate myself. Notice all the emphasis is on me, not an alleged co-conspirator. If i take an immunity deal, it means I will turn over evidence in exchange for no charge being pressed against me. Well, hell it is possible that if I new I could get such a deal to keep me from going to jail, I would tell them what they wanted to hear even if it was untrue.
The TPP, calling it a good standard, and saying she hoped it was a good deal is not a lie. If she hoped it was a good deal, and at the time it looked like a good standard but latter found out its a pile of shit, there is nothing wrong with that. I changed my mind 4 times this morning on what sounded good for breakfast, a simple task. It is only reasonable to allow for the possibility of changing ones mind on a more complex task utilizing critical thought. ( This site only seemed to critical thoughtt in conjunction to the women pay and stop question frisk policy). I could keep going but this is not fact checking or showing lies only using thinly veiled propaganda to preach an anti Hilary stance. Fact check what trump said, he lied his ass off as well. Both of these candidates are garbage in my opinion.
