'Same lies over and over again': CNN fact-checker shreds Trump's 'nonsense' rally claims

Raw Story  

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale dismantled a new round of false claims made by former President Donald Trump, as the former president delivered a speech at a campaign rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

"And not only this post-birth execution nonsense that we just heard a very good fact check of, but he also claimed the 2020 election was rigged. To cap all of it off, he added, Trump "said that the numbers of people we lost to drugs are fake and it's probably 350,000 per year.
