Fact-checker reveals Trump's 'wildly dishonest CPAC speech' reached new levels

Raw Story  

Donald Trump couldn't fill the CPAC hall on Saturday, but that doesn't mean he didn't fill the weekend for fact-checker Daniel Dale, who listed a number of "wildly dishonest" claims that the former president made. Trump wouldn't have been legally able to deploy a state guard, only a national guard to "suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion," according to the Insurrection Act of 1807. Trump then fact-checked himself: "it’s not ’10’ but it turns into three months.” He reiterated again that they "passed it," and again, executive orders aren't passed. There were rants about things Trump said "nobody ever heard of" before he came along, false comments that Joe Biden tried to bribe Ukraine.
