Take A Factual Shortcut With Me: Punching In

Paul Ryan lied in his convention speech last night. A lot. Here are at least five of the lies he told.

Notably, Ryan falsely accused Obama of failing to save a Janesville, Wisconsin auto plant while Bush was President.

Key quote: “There was no way Obama could have saved that auto plant without also discovering time travel.”

The Associated Press refers to Ryan’s lying as “factual shortcuts.”
