Christine O'Donnell Insults Those Who Lied to Nazis to Help Jews
Tweet Share on Facebook September 18, 2010 Comment (69)Appearing on Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher back in 1998 (well before she was the Republican nominee for Senate from Delaware) Christine O'Donnell made the now widely noted declaration that she would not lie under any circumstances (a lie being disrespectful to reality), even if she found herself in the position of hiding Jews from Nazis during World War II.
