I know who Dylan Ratigan is and you're right.
The point was, he said something publicly that was ignorant and the GOP POUNCED on it and ran it as gospel--does anybody fact-check anymore?--creating another horror story narrative that of course was bogus.
So I'm blaming those who didn't even bother to look at his claim. Guess who did? The "left."
He does bear some responsibility for being careless though.
