Sen. Jon Kyl has accused President Obama of holding "hostage" efforts to secure the nation's border with Mexico because he wants to get something in return, a statement that has the White House frantically calling the longtime Arizona Republican a liar.
White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer issued a statement to Fox News stating, "The president didn't say that and Sen. Kyl knows it."
There remains at issue, then, just exactly who is doing the lying.
"Seems like everybody lies except Obama," talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh told listeners today. "Everybody is lying. Obama never does."
The dispute erupted over the weekend with Kyl's appearance before the North Tempe, Ariz., Tea Party town hall where he described the one-on-one meeting with Obama.
"I met with the president in the Oval Office … just the two of us," Kyl said. "We had a discussion. Here's what the president said. The problem is, the president said, if wesecure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.
"It other words, they're holding it hostage," Kyl said, prompting gasps of surprise or possibly outrage in the room. "They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with comprehensive immigration reform."
