President Obama has been criticized by many including Ted Cruz for not attending the funeral Mass for Justice Antonin Scalia.
Some on the Left were in a rush to try and paint Cruz as some sort of hypocrite:

@TheRickWilson @AlanColmes @rjames1928 I saw his face on C-SPAN as he was being seated. Why would anybody make up a lie that he skipped it?

The linked article Colmes quoted has been updated to reflect the fact that Cruz did attend, and now the story is this:
Cruz flip-flops on attending Scalia funeral https://t.co/Q36xqVYkU1

Cruz flip-flopped?
@AlanColmes what a joke! At first you said he was not attending, now he flip-flops. Colmes your slip is showing.

Typical leftwinger @AlanColmes all you know how to do is lie. Then when you get caught instead of apologizing you attack.
