MediaMatters 1888

MediaMatters for America has uncovered that the San Francisco Examiner has uncritically published the statement by Samuel Clemens that, "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress."

MediaMatters has debunked this false allegation by showing that no less than four members of Congress have no criminal record whatsoever. Furthermore, Clemens wrote this commentary under the alias Mark Twain which, in our opinion, intends to confuse the reader as to the actual author.
