dropped out of his U.S. senate campaign after divorce papers revealed his actress wife accused him of taking her to sex clubs.
Even worse, Doocy ignored how Coglianese revealed he had unquestioningly taken on Ryan's slant as his own.
COGLIANESE: (Ryan) found all this information and the way that he framed it - and I think it’s probably right – is that Obama was always very soft on crime but very tough on guns. Every time Obama had a crime vote to take when he was in the Illinois state senate, he always voted present… for two reasons: One, he said that crime, criminal law disproportionately affected African Americans. He saw a racial component there.”
… And additionally, he said that I don’t want to clog the court system with all these cases. Well, what do you want to clog the court system with? And we thought that given his rhetoric on guns lately that it would be interesting to bring up this ’99 vote where he said, “You know what? I don’t want to give tougher prosecution to children who shoot at schools.”
Doocy murmured, “Sure,” approvingly as Coglianese spoke.
But as Media Matters pointed out, this attempt to paint President Obama as a hypocrite on gun laws was either disingenuous or half-baked (or both). Obama’s reasons for voting present in 1999 were his opposition to automatically transferring juveniles into the adult system and none of Obama’s current proposals call for trying juveniles as adults.
Fox must be getting pretty desperate for dirt to throw at Obama's gun proposals if they’re stooping to this.
