Fact-Checking The Third Presidential Debate (The Onion)
http://www.theonion.com/infographic/fact-checking-third-presidential-debate-54475Presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump sparred over subjects including foreign policy, the economy, and their fitness to hold the nation’s highest office in the final debate Wednesday. The Onion examines the validity of their assertions:
“We have some bad, bad people in this country.” -Donald Trump
There are, in fact, bad people living in the United States.
“It’s funny, but it’s also really troubling.” -Hillary Clinton
Although specifically directed at Trump’s view on the validity of national election results, this remark could reasonably describe any event over the past 16 months.
“Such a nasty woman.” -Donald Trump
It’s unclear whether Trump was referring to Clinton, one of the women who have accused him of sexual assault, or one of the millions of other American women he has serially insulted and disrespected, but in any case, it is false.
“The NAFTA deal signed by her husband is one of the worst deals ever made of any kind signed by anybody.” -Donald Trump
Look, we’ve definitely fact-checked this one already. We’re not doing it again.
