In this case, repeating falsehoods that have been thoroughly debunked years ago.
Not that the Free Lance-Star will print a retraction in my lifetime or anything, but former PA Gov. Bob Casey was not denied a role at the 1992 Democratic National Convention because he was pro-life. The reason he wasn’t asked to attend is because he did not endorse […]
