A social media challenge to come clean about well-known fibs wound up fragging political types across the ideological spectrum.  

As he does most nights, talk show host Chris Hardwick put “@Midnight ” fans to the test Thursday by proposing everyone own up to the mundane falsehoods that have become part of the fabric of modern life.

Today is Tell A Lie Day so tonight we’re playing #LiesEveryoneTells! Come clean and be sure to tag @midnight to keep the game going!

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who seemed to get a kick out of the assignment, used the opportunity to unburden himself of creepy tendencies.

I've never looked you up on @google...or @LinkedIn...or @HingeApp, I swear. #LiesEveryoneTells
