It’s a talking point used, not only by Mitt Romney, but also by Michele Bachmann, and really just about every other Republican in Congress. They just love repeating it over and over, like it cannot be checked for accuracy or something.
Well PolitiFact, the non-biased, non-partisan group, has taken it upon themselves to fact-check these politicians. At the last Republican presidential debate, Mitt Romney continued the usual talking point – “President Obama apologizes for America.”
Fact-checking found this to be a lie. And not just any ol’ lie, like a white lie or a fib. No, this one qualifies for a category PolitiFact calls a “Pants On Fire” lie.
