MSNBC host Thomas Roberts on Friday aired a portion of Vice President Joe Biden's speech given at a plaque dedication remembering the Americans lost in the Benghazi terror attack and falsely claimed he was mourning "children as the victims of gun violence." Roberts was discussing Biden's reported plans to make a second push for gun control after losing in the first round.
In the selectively edited clip of Biden's remarks, the vice president was talking about the serious risks that State Department employees and their families face as part of their service. "No child should predecease their parents. And I wish I could tell you we aren't going to add anymore names with this wall...but the truth of the matter is, there will be more." Biden said.
After playing the video, Roberts falsely claimed that the vice president was talking about the children of gun violence before announcing his renewed push for background checks.
