Because that's one of the Democrat talking points about this. (Isn't "BUSH DID IT!!!!!111" always a Democrat talking point?) She is either legitimately confused about the difference between previous Project Gunrunner ops, which were done in conjunction with Mexican authorities, and Fast and Furious, or she is just lying because, as she said, she's a partisan hack.
I especially liked the part where Maher indicated that anyone who actually knows what Fast and Furious is lives in some kind of a bubble. He is doing some serious Orwellian mental gymnastics. "Ignorance is strength", indeed.
