Rep Peter King Gets Caught in a Lie by CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, Then Blurts “I Don’t Care About Fact Check!”

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien seems to be in the business of driving Republicans batty as of late. (For reference, see here, here, and here.) That’s probably because Soledad O’Brien is in the habit of inserting facts into the conversation and Republicans aren’t in the habit of addressing facts. They traffic in propaganda and fear mongering, so when facts are at issue, Republicans generally don’t respond well.

The latest Republican to become unhinged at the idea that facts matter is Rep. Peter King, who still pushes the lie that President Obama apologizes for America. According to King, Obama’s apologies to the Arab world sent mixed messages, and helped cause the unrest in Libya and Egypt.
