Fox News Shepard Smith supports gun control!!!

Even as others in the media – including liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes – decried ‘president’ Obama for telling a Paris-based climate-change audience mass shootings only happen in America, one Fox News talking head came out in support of that White House mantra, saying only national television, post-San Bernardino massacre: this is unique to our country.

Shepard Smith said, of the mass shooting that left 14 dead and 17 injured, Obama was quite right in calling for gun control.

“’president’ Obama called today for a bipartisan effort at every level of government to address mass shootings,” he said, Mediaite reported.

Smith then quoted Obama, reading: “[Obama said] we don’t yet know what the motives of the shooters are, but what we do know is that there are steps we can take to make America safe and that we should come together on a bipartisan basis at every level of government to make these rare as opposed to normal. We should never think that this is something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it does not happen with the same frequency in other countries.”

After, Smith looked at the camera lens and offered his own assessment of the shooting and of Obama’s comments.

“[Obama] got a lot of partisan pushback on that from his political opponents,” Smith said, “but the fact of the matter is, among developed nations, that’s the truth. 

These sorts of mass shooting with the regularity of where they occur in the United States, you don’t find that in other countries. … You can extrapolate what you want.”

And his conclusion: “I can report to you with certainty that it happens more here than anywhere else in the world,” he said, Mediaite reported.

Obama actually said on stage in Paris, at the climate-change conference, held just shortly after terrorists killed 130 people: “I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings. This just doesn’t happen in other countries.”

On that, even liberal pundits and hosts in the news shook their heads in dismay.

In a series of back-and-forth tweets with Charles Cooke, MSNBC host Hayes was finally forced to admit Obama made a serious misstep with that claim.

Cooke wrote, of Obama’s exaggerated gun-violence claim: “Let’s call out politicians when they lie in public,” Biz Pac Review found.

Hayes responded, via Twitter: “Yes. He shouldn’t say that.”
