In 2011 Jon Kyl, Republican Senator from Arizona, claimed that abortions were "
well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." After his statement caught wind in the media as being a flat out
lie he backpedaled stating that his remark was "not intended to be a factual statement."
This spawned the hashtag and
popular meme #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement. In similar context, whenever you or someone you know present information as a fact when it'
s actually a blatant
lie it is appropriate to say Pulling a Jon Kyl. In reference to this notorious liar.
