Trump tells the same lies over and over

So I have heard. No amount of fact checking stops him from saying the same things again and again and again.

Yet reading the Daily Howler today, it seemed like a Democratic candidate was doing the same thing, at least according to Bob.

"... it's especially galling to see a major White House candidate repeating inaccurate claims, even while repeatedly saying that the claims in question are "for real" and "a fact," something that isn't "debatable.""

But I do not mean to make this post about that candidate, but rather about the subject of the Daily Howler.

http://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2019/05/saving-candidate-harris-brilliant-young.html

Well, at least part of the subject - the wage gap. The claim in question is this

"According to the Census Bureau statistics to which the candidate referred, women do not "make 80 cents on the dollar [compared] to men" for the same or equal work."

That's Bob's position and apparently Politifact's position.

What say you? Is Bob wrong? Is Politifact wrong? Are the "facts" still in dispute?

Plus, his blockheaded worshippers can't remember but a few lies at a time. Telling more than a few will just flummox them...
