Democracy Matters :verified:

NPR reviewed the transcript of Donald Trump’s news conference and found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes.

“That’s more than two a minute. It’s a stunning number for anyone – and even more problematic for a person running to lead the free world.”

@DemocracyMattersALot And yet none of the non-right-wing media outlets saw fit to fact check real time. They just don’t seem to get it… or worse, don’t care.

@DemocracyMattersALot And a room full of experienced journalists did not challenge one of them, as Chris O'Donnell shockingly described last week.

Were they just anxious to get through it so that they could hit the Mar A Largo buffet?

@DemocracyMattersALot This 77 yr old Canadian simply refers to Trump as a piece of human garbage. Absolute waste of blood and skin. We're so god damned sick of that beast. So close to being rid of the scum. So sad (like Trump would say)

@DemocracyMattersALot Those numbers seem low. I'm sure when Trump hears them, he'll vow to do better next time.
