Who are the Liars?  ⚐

We didn’t create the graphic, but we shared it on our Facebook page. It promptly shattered all previous benchmarks for reach and engagement by a factor of at least 20. Almost a hundred people were so shocked by it that they hid it in their newsfeeds; twenty-seven decided they never wanted to see anything shared by MormonPress ever again; one person unliked our Facebook page.

Judging by the comments, the harsh response wasn’t because the graphic claimed that Jeb(!) Bush and Joe Biden are relatively honest politicians. No, our commenters were infuriated that Hillary Clinton was rated as being rather honest. Many of the comments on the photo can be summarized as “Hillary’s a lying liar who lies.” One commenter suggested that Mormon “would not stand for [MormonPress’s] lies.” Well, I guess we’ll have to ask him down the road.

This isn’t an election that’s going to be won by persuasion. Either you hate Hillary enough to vote for a liar, or you’re willfully ignorant.
