To tell a blatant lie. Coined by Hillary Clinton - Hillary Clinton has insisted that she simply "misspoke" when she claimed she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire 12 years ago. However, Mrs Clinton says she simply made a mistake due to sleep deprivation, which "proves I'm human".
Wife : You motherfucker !! How dare you call my mother a ugly money grabbing back stabbing bad tempered fat old whore ??
Husband : I'm sorry my darling. I simply misspoke.

When a Democrat, especially a Clinton, tells the opposite of the truth. Not to be confused with "Lie", a word reserved for Republicans who speak using documentation.
Hillary Clinton misspoke about her recollection of her trip tp Bosnia. George Bush had CIA documentation of WMDs in Iraq, therefore, he lied.
