I find this is a frequent Twitter dynamic. Someone says something that isn’t true, I say “that thing you said isn’t true,” and then that person’s ideological allies point out that had the person made some different claim that claim would have been true. But so what? — PolitiTweet.org

This dope said, in public, on the internet, that “there was not zero inflation in July.” I said, correctly, that he was wrong. Now he admits there was zero inflation in July but he’s lying and pretending he never said it — astounding behavior, like a toddler. https://t.co/BXo8ZRJxFX — PolitiTweet.org
