Issue an official response to false statements made by VP. Biden relating to being near the Amish school house shooting

Created by J.T. on January 22, 2013

On January 17th, 2013, while speaking before the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Vice President Biden told a story about being near the October 2nd, 2006 Amish School Shooting. He said, “I happened to be literally — probably, it turned out, to be a quarter of a mile [away] at an outing when I heard gunshots in the woods. We didn’t know. … We thought they were hunters. As I got back to the clubhouse of this outing and saw helicopters, it was a shooting that had just taken place in a small Amish … school just outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.”

The nearest golf course, the Moccasin Run Gold Club, is in fact 7 miles away, making his story impossible.

We want an official response from the White House on whether they back the false statements made by Vice President Biden for political gain.
