Yesterday, the White House denied a claim made by Arizona’s Republican Sen. Jon Kyl that he was told personally by President Obama that he would not work to secure the Mexican border unless it was part of comprehensive immigration legislation.
“The president didn’t say that and Senator Kyl knows it,” White House Communication Director Dan Pfeiffer told POLITICO yesterday in their story which includes video of Kyl’s claims being made to supporters in Phoenix.
Today, Media Matters has a long list detailing Kyl’s well-documented history of blatantly false claims.
But we had our own run in with Kyl — and his proclivity to just pull stuff out of his hind-quarters when speaking to the press — during the 2008 Democratic Convention, both outside, and then inside the Pepsi Center.
Remember this BRAD BLOG exclusive from August 28, 2008? When we seemed to be the only member of the media willing to press Kyl on his bullshit?…
what a chicken shit Jon , you get a private meeting and you squeel
Re ER @1, the word “squeel” assumes that there is some connection between what was said during the meeting and what Kyl said after the meeting.
Meanwhile, it seems a bit unhealthy to hold one’s breath waiting for Kyl to provide Brad with the Bill Clinton statistics that Kyl said were inaccurate during Clinton’s 2008 DNC address.
It’s obvious the President should NOT ever meet alone with any Republican, because they will lie and lie and lie… and Fox News will make sure the lies are broadcast. Besides, they don’t deserve the honor of a private meeting, anyway, backstabbing bunch that they are.
Damn, your persistence is dogged and admirable!
