CNN’s Daniel Dale Delivers Brutal, Rapid Fire Fact Check of 30 False Claims From Trump, 9 From Biden

CNN reporter Daniel Dale delivered a detailed breakdown of the amount of false claims made by Donald Trump and Joe Biden during Thursday evening’s debate.

During a post-debate analysis with CNN anchor Erin Burnett, Dale noted that Trump’s “staggering number of false” statements stood out to him, with a total of 30 false or misleading claims.

Before digging into Trump’s false claims, Dale pointed out that Biden made nine false or misleading statements. Biden’s falsehoods involved the unemployment rate, the number of illegal border crossings under his administration, and Trump wanting to get rid of Social Security.

Dale then warned the audience to take “a deep breath,” adding that Trump’s list is “way longer””

The Trump list, it is way, way longer. So deep breath, he said. Some Democratic states allow people to execute babies after birth, an egregious lie that is illegal in every state. He said everybody, even Democrats who wanted Roe v Wade, overturn Roe, supported by two thirds of Americans, even more Democrats. He said every legal scholar who wanted roe overturn abortion returned to the states. Legal scholars have told me directly this is not true. He said the U.S. currently has the biggest budget deficit ever. No, that happened under Trump in 2020.

He said the U.S. currently has a record trade deficit with China. That also happened under Trump in 2018. He said Biden personally gets a lot of money from China. Zero evidence of this. He said there were no terror attacks during his presidency. In fact, there were multiple attacks. He said Iran didn’t fund Hamas, Hezbollah or other terror groups under his presidency. Iran, in fact, did. He said Biden wants to quadruple people’s taxes. That is pure fiction. He said the U.S. has provided way more aid to Ukraine than Europe had. It’s actually the opposite. He said the U.S. has provided about $200 billion in Ukraine aid. It’s closer to 110 billion. He said 18 or 19 million people have crossed the border under Biden.
