CNN’s Sally Kohn Wildly Exaggerates Child Gun Deaths In America, FORCED To Correct
Perpetual loony leftist liar and occasional CNN commentator Sally Kohn made a claim about gun deaths that was so stupid and exaggerated that it would only get past the fetid sewer of a diseased liberal mind.
Check it out:
We regulate toys that harm a few children but refuse to regulate guns that kill 10,000 kids per year? My latest: https://t.co/XGoSt9lbTM

Apparently the dimwit doesn’t know how to use google because she gets all her statistics from overhearing them on television:
Recently, my CNN colleague Mel Robbins made a startling point. Robbins was on “Legal View” to discuss the case of an 11-year-old who shot and killed an 8-year-old neighbor when host Ashleigh Banfield noted that 10,000 children are killed by guns every year.
Almost immediately, people who have a clue and also regularly consult with reality has to set the moron straight. Foremost among these was retired NYPD cop John Cardillo:
Everything about this is dumb and a lie. Everything. Shame on you @CNN. https://t.co/L4HcRGMjy4

(1) @CNN, @SallyKohn lied. 2014 FBI Stats 11,961 total homicides. Only 1,085 victims under 18. Not 10,000 by gun. pic.twitter.com/OoUW4ra5AE

.@CNN, @sallykohn falsely multiplied the # of kids killed by guns by twelve. Does no one at CNN fact check before publishing content?

.@CNN, @SallyKohn was also dishonest implying that <18 gun deaths are accidental. About 95% are crime related among teens w/illegal guns.

Wow. I would say it was intentional, but these “journalists” are so incompetent that I wouldn’t be surprised if they just didn’t check anything before publishing it. After tons and tons of gun advocates voiced their anger at the ridiculous lies, Sally Kohn finally responded:
Correction forthcoming. My mistake. 10,000 children per year are killed *or injured* by guns. https://t.co/6UD48wMIA0

But it doesn’t matter – I’m sure we’ll see the false 10,000 number pop up all over the place now, because liberals don’t care about what’s true, only what’s politically expedient.
