While watching the post debate coverage on MSNBC, David Shuster was called on to “fact check” the candidates. Shuster took issue with Mitt Romney’s stance on abortion, especially when Romney compared his evolution on the issue to Reagan and Bush 41. Here’s what Shuster had to say, “correcting” the record (at 10:51 for anyone who DVR’d it):
Actually, that’s not a course at all that George H. W. Bush or Ronald Reagan took, both were consistent, George H.W. Bush particularly so on the issue. He was always pro life. [I’ll update with a link to the transcript once it’s available on MSNBC.]
I would really like to see what Shuster is basing this on, because it’s just not true.
