Lying in Plain Sight

Donald Trump has endlessly mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren for, according to him, falsely claiming that she has some Native American ancestry. He underscored his oft-repeated taunt by saying at several different times that he'd give $1 million to her charity of choice if she could prove her claim with DNA testing.

Yesterday, Senator Warren released DNA test results documenting that she's long been telling the truth -- she does have Native American ancestry (details here). With conclusive scientific proof in hand, she called on Trump to donate $1 million to a charity she named.

Within hours, Trump denied to reporters that he ever said he'd donate a million dollars, notwithstanding that he's made the donation promise more than once in events that were recorded on video.

That's Trump for you -- blithely steaming through a big fat lie even though conclusive video proof exists he said he'd donate $1 million.
