Last night during the Vice Presidential debate CBS moderator Margaret Brenna had the gumption to fact check just one of JD Vance’s lies, this one about Haitian immigrants, and Jebus one would have thought she had bean-balled him with a rotten tomato based on the reaction of Vance and dear leader and some others in the right wing ecosphere.
Megyn Kelly threw out an F-bomb. Vance himself whined that the debate rules precluded fact checking. “Both young ladies have been extremely biased Anchors!” Trump raged on Truth Social.
It was beautiful!
“Early in the debate, Vance was answering a question about immigration when he brought up Springfield, Ohio, saying “he’s concerned about Americans there” who “have had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris’s open border.”
“In Springfield, Ohio, and in communities all across this country you’ve got schools that are overwhelmed, you’ve got hospitals that are overwhelmed, you’ve got housing that is totally unaffordable because we’ve brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans for scarce homes,” Vance said.
After Walz responded, Brennan jumped in to state the facts on the issue.
“And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status,” Brennan said.
Vance spoke up to complain about the fact check.”
What a whiny baby. If you are complaining about fact checking you must be lying a lot.
Here is Megyn Kelly’s response:

You kiss your mama with that mouth Megyn?
Trump’s reaction in full:
“Margaret Brennan just ‘fact checked’ JD, incorrectly, on ‘Climate Change,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social after Brennan stated that scientists overwhelmingly agree the earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. “When is she going to fact check Tampon Tim on all of his false statements? Another repeat with the Fake News being unfair to the Republican Candidate, and trying to get the pathetic Democrat across the finish line. But it doesn’t matter, the Public sees it for what it is – FAKE NEWS!”
“Both young ladies have been extremely biased Anchors!” Trump raged in another post.”
All because Brennan wouldn’t let JD lie to her face.
The Recount on Twitter has the video:

The Republicans insist on their right to lie and attempt to manipulate reality to achieve their goal of establishing their permanent minority rule of this country.
Good on Margaret Brennan for throwing a monkey wrench in that mess.

So America when do we resume putting 5500 children in cages AGAIN?????? ALL BECAUSE WE ARE AN IGNORANT IMMORAL SOCIETY WHO ACCEPT NAZIS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
I give both moderators kudos for the amount of detail provided before getting to each question. In effect, it was a type of pre- fact-checking. “We are giving viewers the reality before you can bullshit them!” 👏
So very sick of these a**hats and their never ending lying. If you don’t want to be fact-checked, just freakin’ don’t lie! It’s that easy, morons. I couldn’t watch all of it. Thirty minutes of Vance lying and non-stop accusations against Harris, too much for me.
I responded to an earlier PZ article that I hadn’t browsed to the CBS News web site’s debate fact check page, but just did after reading Dino’s article. Here’s a summary of what they found:
TRUE, including “needs context” – Walz 5, Vance 0
PARTLY TRUE- Walz 2, Vance 1
MISLEADING – Walz 0, Vance 3
FALSE – Walz 2, Vance 5
The FALSE claims for Walz were his earlier Tiennamin Square comments and his claim that Trump paid no income taxes for 15 years, a couple of nothing burgers.
Easy to see why Vance retired directly to the Spin Room after the debate.
megan, you ignorant slut-you would not know an actual fact if it slipped it’s dick in you which is what I’m sure you allowed von shitzi and hillbilly boy to do. I presume this because whenever you open your pie hole or otherwise “grace” us with the garbage churning in what you call a “brain”, it is every bit as asinine as that which spews from von shitzi and hillbilly boy.
btw, please stop gracing us with your stupidity. It is tiresome and embarrasses us as a nation.
