In the legal world, there is something called precedence. This applies unofficially in the political world as well. With Brian Williams likely finished at NBC due to lies, it should act as a precedence of why Hillary Clinton should never be president.
The left will, of course, discuss how the two incidences in question are completely different. Williams lied at least once and is being investigated for lying about other things that he reported. As a journalist, telling lies about the news is unforgivable. Clinton had an eerily similar lie when she said that upon landing in Bosnia in 1996, they cancelled the landing ceremony and rushed her to her car because of snipers. This was clearly untrue.
To be the leader of the free world, one needs to have a grasp of his or her own activities. They have to demonstrate honesty and competence. If this her retelling of the story in Bosnia was a blatant lie, then she is a blatant liar and should not be in office. If she “mis-remembered” the events in question, then she is incompetent and should not be in office.
Those who believe the “mid-remembered” storyline that her people put out for the world need to really think back to their own activities. I, for one, travel often and couldn’t on a whim tell you all of the places I’ve landed over the past decade. However, if you were ask me to describe one in particular, such as when I landed in Orlando in 2007, I could tell you with pretty good detail what happened and what didn’t happen. It was a longer stay and I had checked bags which took quite a while to come out at baggage claim. Once I finally got them, I exited the airport and was struck by an intense heat and humidity that made me start sweating within seconds. The shuttle was going to be a few minutes, so I grabbed a cab instead.
This wasn’t a particularly eventful landing. Also, I don’t have the crazy schedule or immense responsibilities of a First Lady. However, there is no chance that I or anyone else would confuse sniper fire forcing a rush to the car with the actual ceremony that she received when she landed or the documented poem she received by a local girl. The events as she described and what actually happened are so completely different that “mis-remembering” is a bigger red flag than the concept of her being a liar.
Would you rather have a liar as President or someone who suffers from clear delusions and is prone to go into a fantasy world rather than continue to grasp reality during a simple event such as a plane landing?
Still, we have to deal with precedence. The opinions of the American people are more important than one person’s sense of competence. If Brian Williams is deemed unworthy to hold his powerful, hired position of NBC news anchor, can we really expect Hillary Clinton to be allowed to hold the powerful, elected position of President of the United States given the clear parallels in their storytelling style?
