I wouldn't characterize him as a symbol of honesty. But he's far more honest and candid than the bullshit artist we have in office, or Hillary the criminal server wiper who we now know both lied to the American people over Ben Ghazi. But you guys see nothing wrong with those two, now do you?

Excellent. Having been called out for deflection, he counters with.... deflection. This guy just keeps ya guessing.
The deflection started with making fun of trump as a "beacon of honesty". Keep up.
Except that's not deflection at all. It's actually what we call the "topic".
Yes, so it isn't a deflection to point out that if Trump is being accused of being dishonest (politically incorrect, actually), while you guys are willing to totally glossy over all the lies and betrayals by Obama and Hillary. It's just giving you some perspective of the hypocrisy of the left.
You just doubled down on your own deflection, and you're too dense to discern it.
How's that for alliterative dysfunction....
Neither "Obama" nor "Hillary" nor anyone else has jack squat to do with this. The man committed a rhetorical faux pas, or however you choose to characterize it. He did that by himself; no one forced him. But that's not the point.
The point here is that AFTER having done that he DENIED HAVING DONE IT. Even though it's clearly on video.
How else does this exist?
-- what the hell is that, some kind of photoshop? Is that some comedian impersonating Rump?
Once again, neither "Obama", nor "Hillary", nor anybody else in the word, forced him to deny what's sitting right there in a video image. It EXISTS. And you cannot just declare it doesn't and make it go away.
So your desperation to bring in all sorts of people -- who have never done the same thing anyway -- is nakedly transparent and a testament to the blind sycophancy pants you wear.
"Sycophancy pants" -- I kill me..
And by the way --- nice knee pads, jellyfish.
