CNN Fact-Checker Daniel Dale Debunks 26 False Claims from Trump’s New Jersey Rally
Former President Donald Trump made a series of false claims during his weekend rally in New Jersey, with CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale debunking a total of 26 lies. Here are some of the most egregious falsehoods:
– Trump falsely claimed that Democrats rigged the 2020 election and that Joe Biden cheats on elections.
– He inaccurately stated that he leads in “every single poll” and that he won South Carolina by 40 or 50 points.
– Trump lied about the job numbers under Biden, inflation rates, electricity costs in New Jersey, gas prices in California, and the number of soldiers in South Korea.
These lies are not only misleading but also dangerous to democracy. Trump’s narcissistic tendency to lie and manipulate facts undermines the trust in the electoral process and erodes the foundation of a fair and transparent democracy.
