Clinton tweeted:
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.
Clinton's two-sentence remark backfired big time, though. The largest critique of them all came from a surprising place PolitiFact.
On Wednesday, PolitiFact dissected Clinton's claim.
First, the publication said:
Our research shows that a suppressor would not have made a difference in the Las Vegas case, because of the positioning of the weapons and because of the distance of the shooter from the crowd. Clinton's staff provided no evidence to suggest a different outcome.
But it gets worse for Clinton.

Kosher mission accomplished by the Liberals, as usual... Right?
You know what makes me laugh about you folks who I call the gloomers and doomers? No matter what a liberal says and no matter how outrageous it is as long as it gets put in the paper all Americans will believe it and they will act on it and so the media is the final word, at least according to you folks.
So tell me how come Hillary didn’t win?

And PolitiFact is a left-wing site.

Hillary’s claim was false, but it may have killed suppressor legislation for the year. We have to keep working on Congress, but what little optimism I had has faded.

No, no she didn’t “win”. The media carried her message endlessly and provided us with bogus polling to back it all up as well.
How did that play out and what is the difference now?
