In their clearly partisan op-ed column, “Presidential candidates would fail kindergarten,” rabbis Dennis and Sandy Sasso took issues with the Republican hopefuls for their party’s nomination for president.

To be fair, there has been far too much tomfoolery on the debate stages amongst more than just one of the GOP potentials.

That said, what the Sassos neglected to inform their readers is that while the candidates on the other side of the aisle are back-slapping one another, singing Kumbaya and marching in practical lock-step with each other during their debates, one candidate seems to have forgotten an important lesson taught in Sunday school churches and synagogues across the nation: Thou shalt not lie.

That one candidate is a congenital liar. From a claim that she had come under sniper fire during a 1996 Bosnia visit to numerous lies regarding Benghazi, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has serious trouble with the truth.

Sadly, this is nothing new, as Clinton lost her job with the House Judiciary Committee in the early 1970s for “lies and unethical behavior.” This occured during the height of an investigation of lies, deceit and a cover-up of the highest order, known as Watergate.

Childish shenanigans or habitual lies? Eventually children grow up and mature.
