<p>Joaquin Castro, a Democratic Representative from Texas, shocked his hosts last week on CNN&rsquo;s State of the Union when he made the false claim that Hillary Clinton had been cleared. &#8220;It&rsquo;s been settled by Congress. The Congress has looked into it. The Justice Department has looked into it, and they&#8217;ve cleared her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obviously flustered, host Dana Bash was quick to point out that Hillary has not, in fact, been cleared. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s been cleared? I missed that headline,&rdquo; chimed in radio host Hugh Hewitt. The show immediately went to a commercial break.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s no surprise that Joaquí;n has high hopes for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, but that&rsquo;s no reason to spout such blatant falsehoods on the air. Rumor has it that Julian Castro, Joaquí;n&#8217;s twin brother, is one of Hillary&rsquo;s top picks for Vice President should she win the nomination.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think really highly of him, and I am thrilled to have his endorsement today,&rdquo; said Hillary of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro. &ldquo;Both he and his twin brother are just among the best young leaders in America, regardless of category or the fact that they come from San Antonio. I am going to really look hard at him for anything because that&rsquo;s how good he is, and he deserves the accolades he&rsquo;s receiving.&rdquo;</p>
