White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tried to justify President Obama’s disproven statement that it is easier in many communities to buy a Glock than a book on Wednesday, saying that “with all due respect to the fact-checkers,” law enforcement officials are concerned about the the ready access of illegal weapons.
“We flood communities with so many guns that is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book,” Obama said at the memorial held July 12 for slain Dallas police officers.
Reporter Fred Lucas recounted to Earnest that both PolitiFact and the Washington Post’s Fact-Checker had rejected Obama’s claim, rating it “Mostly False” and “Three Pinocchios,” respectively.
