FAKE NEWS CNN's Chris Cuomo Pushes False Story About Buying AR-15 Without ID, Then Lies About
It
On Tuesday, CNN�s Chris Cuomo retweeted the account of one @usaphotodude quoting a
reporter named Cody Davis. The tweet stated, �I was able to buy an AR-15 in five minutes.
I�m 20 and my ID is expired.� There�s only one problem: that never happened. The
article itself states, �After [the sales representative] walked me through the paperwork,
all five pages of it, I told him I changed my mind and wanted to think more before I
bought an AR-15. He told me it wasn�t a problem and listed the store hours if I wanted
to come back. I then said thank you and walked back to my car.�
In other words, the guy couldn�t buy the gun without ID and a proper background check,
as per federal law.
But that�s not what Cuomo tweeted out.When called on it, Cuomo tweeted, �Isn�t the
point that the kid�s age and lack of ID wasn�t a deterrent? and this isn�t all
gun shops. Place I bought my shotgun basically goes farther than the law requires and makes
judgments about whom to sell to. Point is the system should be better.�
Which, of course, is not the point. The point is that Cuomo tweeted out false information.
National Review�s Charles Cooke pointed that out:
So, as usual, a gun control-pushing member of the mainstream media lied about the facts,
then lied when confronted about it. But these are the supposed objective sources of truth
to whom we are supposed to look for unbiased information.
