1) The distinction between grandparents and great grandparents is not that big. Perhaps her great grandparents were immigrants, which makes the grandparent statement a relatively small corruption.
2) She didn't lie when she said she was a full supporter of gay marriage, because she may have changed her mind. She's still a cunt for flip flopping and in general, though.

1 - not really. the thing is, you actually know your grandparents, if only through stories told by your parents. That's why claiming her grandparents were immigrants is relevant - it gives her a more direct experience. this is obviously calculated horse shit
2 - be serious.

It could also be the case that her grandparents may not have talked about it. Who knows? She didn't give/make up an anecdote about their alleged immigration anyway.
All I'm saying is that the lie is petty and is nothing compared to her lie about being under "sniper fire" in Bosnia.
She's a flip-flop and therefore a cunt, but that doesn't meant she didn't actually change her mind.
