He was just trying to keep Congress from panicking. It’s all ok. Just little white lies. Oh and the “science” rapidly changing. All in good faith, promise! 🤞
In general I agree. The only time I find it acceptable to lie is when people will use the truth to commit atrocity (see pharoah and the midwives in the time period Moses was born and Rahab the prostitute and the spies in the time right before Joshua and Israel invaded Jericho).
Midwives may not have been lying: Remember, both Egyptian men and women were 'soft', the women didn't work the way the Hebrew slave women did. Hebrew women were stronger, and stronger women have faster births. (Not to mention the fact we all have heard of babies that came before one can get to a doctor...) Now they likely timed the arrival so they could legitimately say what they said, but I don't think they lied, per se.
It's actually 5 years PER lie. He's lied a bunch of times.

I know this is sarcasm, but there is never an okay time to lie. "White lie" is still a fucking lie.
