Washington, D.C. — Today, in a speech filled with conspiracy theories, lies and debunked claims, Donald Trump attacked Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Correct The Record President Brad Woodhouse released the following statement on Trump’s speech:
This morning, a desperate and unhinged Donald Trump tried to revive his sinking campaign with decades-old gossip, debunked lies and references to widely discredited books from disreputable authors,” said Correct The Record President Brad Woodhouse. “Today’s speech was just the latest skirmish in Trump’s life-long war with the truth. The Trump strategy is clear: lie, lie and if that doesn’t work, lie some more.
“With his campaign in free fall, Trump is clinging to outlandish and debunked conspiracy theories and a right-wing playbook to smear Clinton. It hasn’t worked before, and it won’t work now. It’s laughable that Trump, who worked alongside convicted criminals, gangsters and foreign dictators, is now trying to remake himself as a crusader against corruption. The fact is, Donald Trump is a cheat and a fraud who will say and do anything to distract voters from his own record of lies and failure. With each day, Trump exposes himself more and more as a second-rate con-man who will stop at nothing to gain power. All we really learned today other than the fact that Donald Trump is a serial liar is that he can read.
