OOPS-
Republican candidate for Congress Harriet Hageman caught lying on Sean Hannity just hours into her new job.
Hageman told Hannity that Cheney had “left a very brief two-second message on my cell phone” Tuesday night, without addressing “any kind of concession or anything else.”
“I haven’t had any other contact with Liz Cheney. She made the one effort and all she said was ‘Hello, Harriet.’ And then that was the end of it,” Hageman said. When Hannity sought to clarify that she was alleging Cheney had “just said ‘Hello, Harriet’ and then hung up,” Hageman reiterated: “That was the end of the call, yes.”
Never mind that its not credible that Hageman doesn't have her phone on her one minute after the AP called the election in her favor or that she couldn't have known why Cheney was calling.
Of course, reporters were standing around as Cheney made 3 attempts to call Hageman and were able to quickly contradict Hageman's mercenary lie.
“Hi, Harriet, it is Liz Cheney calling,” Cheney is heard saying in the audio. “It is about 8:13 on Tuesday the 16th, I’m calling to concede the election and congratulate you on the win. Thanks.”
FOX News is the only major news channel not to report the correction this morning.
