therefore - according to the source we are studying, noone was 'lying' about fdr being in a wheelchair.
he was in a wheelchair.
What Daydreamin is referring to, is that the US govt. lied to the American people, by hiding FDR's disability. The American people didn't know until many years later, that FDR was in a wheelchair.
American children are taught in school that the US govt. lied to the public, because they thought that if the American people knew FDR was in a wheelchair, they wouldn't respect him.
So his disability was covered up.
