I haven't done one of these in a few years, mainly because the election of Donald Trump has resulted in an almost constant stream of pants on fire level lies coming out of the liar-in-chief. One of the effects of this is that Politifact only has a hard time choosing among Trump and his allies lies for the the worst of the year, and none of the D's minor lies or misstatements rises even close to competing.
2019: Trump's repeated false claim that the whistleblower got Trump's Ukraine call almost completely wrong
2018: Online smear machine tries to take down Parkland high school students
2017: Trump's repeated false assertions that Russian election interference is a "made up story"
2016: Fake News
2015: Trump's campaign lies
2014: The Ebola Scare.
2013: If you
like your health care you can keep it. (Had this been expressed "If you
like your qualifying health care, you can keep it" it would have been
true: the plans that were closed by ACA were fraudulent in some way.
In 2008, they had rated this same statement as true)
2012: Romney/Ryan completely false claims that Jeep was moving its factory to China
2011: Democrat's completely true statement that Republicans voted to end medicare as we know it.
2010: Republican's absurdly false claims that the ACA is a government takeover of healthcare.
2009: Republican's dangerously false claims about death panels.
