SANDY HOOK, CT. (THECOUNT) — JT Lewis, whose brother Jesse, 6, was killed in the attack at a Connecticut elementary school back in 2012, is now saying his family was refused entry to Air Force One following a then President Obama visit, because the family refused to support the administration’s gun control proposal, according to reports.
Lewis, 19, took to Twitter to also call out former VP, Joe Biden, after the candidate claimed he met with Sandy Hook families following the tragic school shooting. Lewis called the claim Biden visited with his family, “a lie.”
Lewis says it former President Obama met with each of the grieving families after the Newtown shooting – but Biden didn’t.
He went on to say that his grieving family, was denied entry to the President’s Air Force One jet, because they would not agree with the admin’s gun control proposal.
In a campaign video, Joe Biden claims he met with families affected by the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut. But Lewis, who lost a loved one in the bloody massacre, claims Biden is distorting the facts.
JT Lewis via Twitter:
@thejtlewis “This is a lie. Obama came to Sandy Hook and met with every family. Joe Biden DID NOT.
In fact, my family was not allowed on Air Force One because we refused to support Obama/Biden gun control efforts.”
In another post, Lewis reminds his followers of another instance in which Biden got his facts wrong regarding a school shooting.
Lewis refers to an incident from August of this year, when Biden claimed to have been vice president at the time of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead.
But the Parkland shooting happened in February 2018, more than a year after Biden left the vice presidency, reports FoxNews.
“@JoeBiden is either a liar or he’s losing his mind,” Lewis concludes.
