Reuters lies and claims Senator Jon Kyl confirmed Senate agreed to $150-200 billion in tax increases

Typical left wing biased Reuters. It was all a lie. Turns out they took Kyl’s comments from earlier in the day where he clearly stated no new taxes and twisted into their own progressive liberal fantasy. Big Journalism has the video.

Earlier this afternoon Reuters reported: “Republicans have agreed to $150 billion to $200 billion in increased tax revenues as part of budget talks, says Senator Kyl.”
A look at the Senator’s actual words in the well of the Senate reveals that he was specifically NOT talking about tax increases, but the sale of government property and other use fees.

 

Update: According to Mark Levin radio, Kyl’s office claims that this is false, and they plan to put out a “statement” soon. Reuters of course isn’t famous for their accuracy. Remember they refered to Anthony Weiner as a Republican TWICE during Weinergate. I’m just expecting Republicans to cave like they usually do.

Reuters posted a “Flash” on Twitter that the Republicans have caved once again and agreed to $150-200 billion in “revenue” aka tax increases.

They will never learn.
