For 99% of the people who heard his speech, he DID see tanks in the streets.

Thats pathetic, if it can be proven that the politician outrigth lied they should be fined.

Its damn disgusting to me :/
What's even more pathetic to me is the notion that him seeing communist tanks in another country 50 years ago (allowing your worst case scenario that fiction becomes reality in the minds of 99% of the audience that night) would somehow be relevant or impugn a man running for presidency today (who also happens to have a history of fighting communists).
