How full of shit was Hillary Saturday night when she was talking about gun crime? Somewhere between totally” and “completely.”
While the three candidates were fighting over who will seize American’s guns the fastest, Hillary Clinton started spitting out statistics that were … well … total bullshit. Here’s what she said:
“Since we last debated in Las Vegas, nearly 3,000 people have been killed by guns. Two hundred children have been killed. This is an emergency.” She said that in the same period there have been 21 mass shootings, “including one last weekend in Des Moines where three were murdered.”
Those numbers aren’t just wrong, or misleading, they’re completely wrong. Hillary must have literally pulled those numbers out of her butt.
Even the Associated Press called her on this whopper:
THE FACTS: The claim appears to be unsupported on all counts.
The Gun Violence Archive has recorded 11,485 gun deaths in the U.S. so far this year, an average of just under 1,000 per month, making Clinton’s figure appear to be highly exaggerated. The archive had more detailed data for children and teenagers, showing 70 from those age groups killed by firearms since the Democratic candidates debated Oct. 13 – not 200 as she claimed.
Asked to explain the discrepancy, Clinton’s campaign pointed to 2013 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and 2010 figures from the Children’s Defense Fund. But that’s not the time period she said she was talking about.
The only mass shooting recently in Des Moines was Nov. 8, when four people were shot at a night club. One was killed, not three.
