But not a right to one's own facts.

When she posted what, by most accounts, appears to be a false claim about the hospital bombing, that's not an opinion. It's just being wrong.

I don't think censure is even remotely warranted here, but jumping to conclusions sometimes comes with consequences. I don't think it's out of line to expect our elected representatives to avoid doing that.
