    Well if Biden is such a liar for this repeated lie (according to you), then what about Trump? (Other premises of my argument are implied by the three sources above).

    If Biden is such a liar, and Trump lied wa-ha-hey! more than Biden, then Trump must be like…an outrageously egregious liar!

    So sure, Biden’s a liar because he said he got arrested defending civil rights and didn’t get photographed like Sanders (which, would make the argument that Biden is a liar a hasty conclusion…but I don’t really care about pointing out fallacies as such, I’ll just roll with it like so: )

    But Trump is thousands of times worse.
