BOSTON—While delivering his concession speech at the Boston Convention
and Exhibition Center Tuesday night, Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney uttered the 240,000th and final lie of his 2012 campaign
when he offered his “sincere congratulations” to President Barack Obama.
“This has been a hard-fought and closely contested campaign, and while
we’ve had our share of disagreements, there has always been a great deal
of respect and admiration between myself and the president,” said
Romney, concluding 17 months’ worth of manipulative falsehoods,
half-truths, and outright fabrications with one last bald-faced lie.
“Tonight, the American people made their voices heard. And now I urge
every one of my supporters to set aside their differences with my
opponent and join me in standing behind our president, so that we all
may come together in a spirit of understanding and cooperation to build a
better America.”
Romney then concluded his speech by expressing his
thanks for the tireless efforts of his campaign team, marking the 12th
and final true statement of his nearly six-year-long White House run. --
