Dennis Prager argues that leftists prioritize effectiveness over truth. He cites Harry Reid's false claim that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes, which Reid later defended as effective despite losing the election, to show how the left believes the ends justify any means.
Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and this is what you missed yesterday on the show. Remember, people on the left— not liberals— people on the left ask themselves not, "Is what I'm saying true?" They ask, "Is what I'm saying effective?" Harry Reid lied about Mitt Romney not paying taxes. When caught in the lie— it was a 100% lie, not 98%, 100% lie— he said, "Well, it worked, didn't it?" That was his response. He didn't win, did he? Those were his words. Get it? He embodies leftism. Leftism holds that what we hold is so pure and good and true that we can do whatever we need to do to get there.
