Mitch McConnell Gets it Wrong
Monday, April 19, 2010
CANDY CROWLEY (CNN, Sunday): The president says you are being deceptive in describing this bill.
MCCONNELL: Well, Candy … there is a bailout fund in the bill that was reported out of the Banking Committee, the partisan bill that came out of committee on a party-line vote.
CROWLEY: But that still does not—
MCCONNELL: I don’t think that’s in dispute.
CROWLEY: But that bailout is funded by the banks themselves, is it not? It is not a taxpayer bailout?
MCCONNELL: Well, Robert Reich, who was Bill Clinton’s secretary of labor, says it is a bailout fund.

When Mitch McConnell has to misquote me to find evidence he’s telling the truth, he is desperate.
