Fact Checker Corrects Trump’s 33+ Lies at the Debate

Fact Checker Corrects Trump’s 33+ Lies at the Debate 639 761 Kim Beck

FACT!

CNN fact checker, Daniel Dale declared that Trump lied at least 33 times during the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Here are a few truths from Steve Rattner to counter the lies:

  • Immigrants are less likely than US-born citizens to commit crimes, particularly undocumented ones — Trump’s stories about migrant crime are clearly fiction. Violent crime has dropped 26% since Biden became President.
  • Europe has been far more generous to Ukraine than the US, and has given about $80 billion more aid to Ukraine than the US — Trump’s numbers are brazenly fabricated and self-serving.
  • Trump was a net oil importer, but the US became a net oil exporter under the Biden/Harris administration, for the first time in over 70 years.
  • Trump’s proposed tariffs will hit low income earners the hardest, reducing after-tax incomes by 6.3% in the bottom quintile. The Trump tariff on laundry machines increased prices by $200. Biden allowed the tariffs to expire and prices went down by $75.
