CNN”s Erin Burnett caught Stephen Moore, recently picked by President Donald Trump to join the Federal Reserve, in a whopper of a lie Thursday night when she pressed him on his past advocacy for the gold standard.
When she raised his past advocacy for the idea, he pretended like it never happened.
“I don’t really think I’ve said anything much about the gold – I’m not in favor of a gold standard,” Moore said.
