Kamala Harris promised to always tell you the truth during her closing argument speech on Tuesday - sparking immediate backlash from voters who cited her litany of whoppers.
The Democratic candidate told the crowd that Trump stood at this very spot on January 6 to incite a mob to storm the Capitol. She also recalled claims the former president said so what when the rioters chanted to hang Mike Pence.

During the speech, Harris claimed that she will always tell you the truth even if it is difficult to hear.
That was news to many on social media, who pointed out several cases where Harris already hasnt.
Kamala Harris is drawing criticism for guaranteeing I will always tell you the truth during her campaign speech Tuesday night
Trumps campaign account on X wrote: She cant even acknowledge that shes been in charge of the country for the last 3.5 years.
Another listed a series of fibs told by Harris: Why lie about McDonalds? Why lie about border czar? Doesnt she know we can fact check her? She lies!
Those are references to Harris claims she was never declared border czar by Joe Biden and Harris being unable to provide material proof she ever worked at the fast food chain.
She covered up Joe Bidens mental decline for years and still denies that theres anything wrong with him, wrote another.
A poll in July revealed a majority of Americans believe Harris was part of a cover-up to protect Bidens aging and senility from being revealed.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign national press secretary, said the vice president was lying about her record in order to avoid taking responsibility for Bidens record.
Kamala Harris is lying, name-calling, and clinging to the past to avoid admitting the truth — the migrant crime crisis, sky-high inflation, and raging world wars are the result of her terrible policies, she said.
The vice president called Donald Trump ‘unstable’ and slammed his obsession with grievance and revenge from The Ellipse with the White House as her backdrop, seven days before what could be one of the closest races in history.

Noting her background as a prosecutor, the campaign pointed out she has laid out the evidence and the facts and was not ready to make her final pitch.
The central argument of that pitch is that she is not Donald Trump.
I offer a different path. And I ask for your vote, she said.
I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress. I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make. And two people who disagree with me - unlike Donald Trump - I dont believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail Ill give them a seat at the table, she said.
I pledge to be a president for all Americans.
And she referenced her childhood as the daughter of immigrants.
Ive lived the promise of America. I saw how hard our mother worked to give her daughters the same chances this country gave her. Growing up, I was blessed to have family by blood and family by love who instilled in me the values of community, compassion, and faith. They have always defined our nation at its best.
Harris attacked Donald Trump from the start, criticizing him for his response to the insurrection on January 6th.

Speaking on the National Mall, the White House in the background, Harris criticized Trump from the same spot the former president encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol.
‘Donald Trump sat in the White House, watching as the violence unfolded on television,’ she said.
‘He was told by his staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice president and Donald Trump responded with two words: so what?’
‘And thats who is asking you to give him another four years in the Oval Office,’ she added.
