Even the Washington Post zinged President Obama in 2013 for his frequent use of that ersatz stat, awarding three of four possible Pinocchio’s in a rating category that requires “significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions”.

Gun Control Strategists Mind Their Tongues, Look To NRA for Tactics

3:00pm Wednesday, August 13, 2014
