Rep. Steve King (R-IA) on Wednesday claimed to have evidence that the infamous sixteen words George W. Bush uttered during his 2003 State of the Union address were actually true, going against the Bush administrations own admission to the contrary.
King was speaking on Jan Mickelsons radio show on Wednesday when he made the extraordinary claim. While discussing the propensity of Republican presidents to be called out for lying while positing that Democrats manage to escape such judgment, King brought up the No new taxes pledge of President George H.W. Bush, before seguing into what he believes is the younger Bushs unfair labeling:

KING: And then when we get to George W. Bush, he was accused of 16 words in the State of the Union address that they said was a lie and theyre still attacking him for that. And Jan, I will tell you, I have had hands-on evidence that what George Bush said in that State of the Union address was the truth and he was still punished for it.
