And he *REALLY* hates fact checkers, since he can't back up his vague and wild-ass charges he makes against Obama.
Republican Congressman Peter King of New York, the notoriously anti-Muslim legislator, put another notch in his conservative belt while being interviewed for the television show Starting Point on CNN when he declared that he didn't care about the facts, and specifically fact checkers.
The moment came for Congressman King while he was attempting to contort President Obama's overseas speeches as weak foreign policy, by claiming that the president was going on an "apology tour." When pressed by host Soledad O'Brien to specifically cite an apology Obama made, King was unable to provide any quotes, and rather relied on vague rhetoric claiming that "any logical reading of that speech" proved the point that he was unable to articulate coherently.
While in the midst of King's babble O'Brien attempted to point out that King's previous claims of President Obama being an apologist were debunked. She said, "They fact check this" and King immediately snapped back "I don't care what the fact check says."

She almost makes me want to turn on CNN in the mornings so I can watch or at least listen to her.
