Donald Trump was fact checked by CNN and it’s simply magnificent
You may have seen CNN reporter Daniel Dale’s takedown of Mike Pence’s Republican party convention speech on Thursday.
Man. When CNN’s fact checker @ddale8 gets into his rhythm, he IS the firehose of falsehood. Watch: pic.twitter.com/lzYnQ5xAjf

Well now Dale – @ddale8 on Twitter – has done the same thing for Donald Trump’s marathon address. And it’s even better.
Hell of a thing to watch CNN’s @ddale8 fact-check the cascade of lies from Trump’s speech. pic.twitter.com/aRQuHf0qE5

He tried to keep up with the president’s speech in real-time on Twitter but it wasn’t easy. This basically sums it up.
The president is doing a lot of lying.

And here are just a few of the things people had to say about it.
He's done it again. @ddale8 speed-raps through a list of more than 20 fact-"errors" in #Trump speech tonight. You won't see him breathe — but he will take your breath away.https://t.co/lo5E3OqZYk

Exhausted from word one, his mechanical, low-energy, delivery made it seem like he was reading it for the 1st time. He told 20+ lies or misleading statements. That’s about 1 every 3 minutes in what was just over an hour, but felt longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. #SAD https://t.co/QXarZJ5CjZ

This was a tour de force for D Dale. He was practically breathless when he finished. https://t.co/AxQ50ChJUp
