That's nice but in this instance it wasn't the case.
Bascially, Hillary got caught up in what may have been a "senior moment" and the press was nice enough to characterize it as "mispeaking".
So Clinton's grandmother was born into an immigrant family very shortly after they arrived in Scranton from Wales. She may not have been born overseas, but I'm willing to grant that her experiences would have felt like those of an immigrant child, particularly if she had a few older siblings. Since we don't have access to the 1890 census, it's hard to tell where she fell in the family tree. This is not something about which I'm willing to make a fuss. There's plenty of fodder in Hillary's own political record to criticize. This is much ado about absolutely nothing.
This by itself isn't meaningful but what it shows is she is still continuing her patterns of lies, lies, lies.
I don't give a rat's ass about where her grandmother was actually born. Clinton's personal record as a politician leaves plenty of room for meaningful debate.

I find this line of argument pretty repetitive. Seems to be the only defense her supporters can come up with to deflect this newest lie. As I said, it wasn't the lie, it is the continuing pattern of lies.

Now. If not you wouldn't bother to try and derail the fact that she once again lied. If things she did as A.G. was the only argument the counter would be "that was in the past and she was only doing what she was told".
That isn't going to fly either because if she was told to lie the only way that works is to expose those who told her to lie and if she does that her campaign comes to a quick end.
Nothing she says can be believed and we should set the bar far higher than that for the office of president.

Yes, but we learned back in 2008 that aging politicians can have forgetful moments. Hillary is getting fairly old and as such we have to ask if these were mental mistakes instead of lies.
Her age and mental accuity is completely fair game and were a major attack point against the McCain campaign in 2008.
If she keeps fumbling and stumbling her way through non-scripted discussions recalling this incorrectly and so forth. then it's going to become a big issue as the campaign wears on.
