Fact Checking HABITUAL LIAR Hillary Clinton's FALSE Gun Claim



O’DONNELL: In 2014, there were 7,686 guns used in crimes in New York. 4,585 of those guns were traced by the ATF. 55 came from Vermont. 55. And there is no indication that any of those guns from Vermont were actually fired. The data doesn't include that kind of information. The number one state, besides New York for firearms recovered in New York, is Virginia, with 395 guns found in 2014


Hillary Clinton can't win against Bernie without LYING about the facts........that's the kind of presidency she will bring to office. Watch Hillary's lapdog sh*tface Howard Dean try to shoe-horn a lie into this discussion but Tweety won't have any of it...




One of the video clips MSNBC did not want to post online was tonight’s April 12, 2016 clip of Lawrence O’Donnell debunking a portrayal made by the Clinton campaign that Senator Bernie Sanders’ state of Vermont is one of the leading suppliers of guns [per capita]* flowing into New York. Here is a short write up of parts of the segment by Kristine Marsh | April 12, 2016 | 11:42 PM EDT (video)


Lawrence O'Donnell Fact-Checks Clinton on 'Obscure and Useless' Guns Stat

Tuesday night’s Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC took Hillary Clinton to task for her claims about out-of-state guns being brought into New York to commit crimes.

In a pretty obvious swing at her competitor Bernie Sanders on Monday, she made the claim that Vermont contributed to the most gun violence in New York. O’Donnell fact-checked Clinton on this, saying her campaign invented an “obscure and useless fact."

"per capita" means. Then she can also point out the incarceration RATE of blacks in Vermont. That ANY weapons used in crimes should be coming in to NY from other states is terrible. And a state as small as VT is sickening.

4. The Clinton Theater of Lies & Distortions....this is how they run...

"...So the Clinton campaign is building a narrative over the week and discovered the by adding the words per capita, to the original accusation they could claim some partial truth, as Vermont does have the highest gun ownership:

The state with the most number of guns per 100,000 people was, indeed, Vermont.

Yet that statistic has nothing to do with the claim that Clinton was purposefully attempting to make. In fact, only 55 of 4,585 is approximately 1% of the guns that may have originated from Vermont and ended up in New York

This is Clinton’s accusation of Vermont/Bernie Sanders:

“Most of the guns that are used in crimes and violence and killings in New York come from out of state.

And the state that has the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing crimes in New York come from Vermont.”



..word salad to make one thing seem like another thing.

Every single statement made by Hillary Clinton should come with a warning label attached.

WARNING: Use with caution. Statements made by this candidate have a strong propensity for deceit and/or falsehood.
