Sen. Jon Kyl 'taken a bit out of context' ... by Jon Kyl
Earlier this week it was being reported that Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) was making a rather serious accusation against the President:How can this be. The right-wing conservative media has vouched for Kyl's truthiness - Right-wing media vouch for Kyl's honesty despite his history of false claims
... the Arizona Republican is seen telling supporters in North Phoenix that in a private meeting in the Oval Office, Obama said “the problem” with border enforcement measures is that “if we secure the border then [Republicans] won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.”
White House communications director Dan Pfieffer flatly denied it:
The President didn’t say that and Senator Kyl knows it.
... but Kyl stood firm.
Kyl spokesman Ryan Patmintra said the senator is not backing down from his assertion, despite the White House’s denial.
And today, Kyl is backing down:
Kyl tells us that the comments were “taken a bit out of context,” and that the “they” he was referring to was the Left, “the president’s base,” and not the administration.
Basically what we have is Jon Kyl claiming that Jon Kyl's words were taken out of context by Jon Kyl.
