I rightfully, and masterfully, ridiculed #Katie Couric and her new #anti-gun ‘#documentary‘ a while ago on the show. She appeared on ‘The Late Show with Steven Colbert’ to peddle her new fiction movie called ‘#Under The Gun.’ From the clips she showed it was clear this movie was going to be an exercise in #selective editing, and leading questions.

I also mocked her for stating that ‘the NRA only represents 5% of gun owners.’ No Katie, the #NRA represents 100% of gun owners. Only 5% are paying members.

Plus, we already know her claim that 90% want #universal background checks is a #debunked#myth. When you ask the question in a specific way about private transfers, 53% of Americans disagree with having background checks of this nature.
Of course, anyone who watches that scene absent the raw/true audio will know it is heavily edited. Confirmation bias, however, will make anti-Constitution advocate WANT to believe it wasn’t edited to push a false narrative.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League labeled the deceptively edited segment featured in the film “unbelievable and extremely unprofessional.” Philip Van Cleave, the organization’s president, said the editing was done deliberately to make it appear that league members didn’t have a response to Couric’s question.
“Katie Couric asked a key question during an #interview of some members of our organization,” he said. “She then intentionally removed their answers and spliced in nine seconds of some prior video of our members sitting quietly and not responding. Viewers are left with the misunderstanding that the members had no answer to her question.”
In all honesty, you guys should have known better. Maybe you did. Perhaps that’s why we have the raw audio.
There are many false claims in the movie that have been #exposed, but Katie Couric and the anti-Constitution lobby are all in using the Joseph Goebbels model of propaganda.

NBC 11 reports that Colt Chatfield came to school with a #Confederate flag flying from his truck and was told to take it down because some students found it offensive. He complied even though he said he has flown it many times before without complaint. However, the next day he came back with both the Confederate flag and the American flag waiving. The school then told him to remove both of them or lose his graduation rite to walk and receive his diploma.
