HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. ― A number of fairly mendacious statements were made during Monday night’s first presidential debate. But arguably the most brazen involved Donald Trump’s views on climate change.
The GOP nominee was called to task for claiming that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government. In response, he completely denied ever saying that.

How can someone deny having said something with such conviction when there is readily available evidence that he did? This is the question The Huffington Post posed to several of Trump’s surrogates after the debate ended Monday night. Here are their explanations.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)
HUFFPOST: During the debate Donald Trump definitively said that he never once said that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. But here is a tweet where he says just that. (We attempt to show her the tweet.)
BLACKBURN: Well, I don’t have my glasses on.
