Did Coloma accidentally tell the truth?

Since we are often lied to, we the media and the public should be glad and thankful when a public official or a politician tells the truth, even if only accidentally.

When this happens, bells peal and presses stop, so much so that US political pundit, Michael Kinsley, sought to register it as the Kinsley Law of gaffes -- “A gaffe is when a politician (accidentally) tells the truth.” He said it first in the UK Guardian on January 14,1992.
