6. so, in other words, HE LIED.

Is "misstated claim" a metaphor for "telling a lie" now?

If he lies about running a marathon, how can we trust him on other issues? Such as Medicare, or the Janesville plant that closed under Dumbya, which he is blaming Obama for?

The man is a liar and can't be trusted.
