He Seems Nice - By Josh Marshall
By JOSH MARSHALL Published MARCH 13, 2017, 8:52 PM EDT
I couldn't help noticing this tweet this evening from Vice President Pence, highlighting his and the President's talk today with 'victims' of Obamacare.

As I noted earlier, while there were definitely trade offs with Obamacare and it was far from a panacea the idea that the law created a class of 'victims' is at best overstated and largely BS.
It got better when a guy on Twitter pointed out to me that Knox actually has his own write-up on Snopes.com.
Now, to be clear, he wasn't debunked or caught lying about something. The Snopes write up was actually confirming that Knox was the author of a viral meme email that made the rounds back in December 2008. This was during the Bush-Obama transition when the fate of General Motors and the rest of the auto industry hung in the balance. GM President Troy Clarke had sent a letter to employees and others asking them to write and tell Congress to save GM.
