Senator Jon Kyl (Rethug-AZ) lying on the Senate floor
Barbara Morrill over at The Big Orange today reports the following:
Last Friday, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) stood on floor of the United States Senate and lied through his teeth, saying:
If you want an abortion you go to Planned Parenthood and that’s well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does.
But today, if you go to the pages of the Congressional Record, it’s as if it never happened:
If you want an abortion you go to Planned Parenthood and that is what Planned Parenthood does.
That’s right. Taking advantage of the senate prerogative to “revise and extend their remarks,” Kyl scrubbed the blatant lie he told about Planned Parenthood, leaving that much more benign quote to be enshrined forevermore in the Congressional Record.
It’s obvious that Orwell’s Memory Hole has jumped the fictional shark and is humming along magnificently in the US Senate.
