PermalinkDaniel Dale summed up the former president's debate performance with two
scathing words.
Former President Donald Trump made at least 33 false claims compared
with at least one false claim from Democratic rival Kamala Harris in
Tuesdays presidential debate, according to CNN fact-checking reporter
Daniel Dale.
What stood out was that this was a staggeringly dishonest debate
performance from former President Trump. Just lie after lie on subject
after subject, said Dale.

CNN Fact Check of the debate: This was a staggeringly dishonest debate
performance from former President Trump. Just lie after lie on subject
after subject by my preliminary count, he made at least 33 false claims.
Dale cited Trumps comments on abortion, crime figures, health care and
the odious baseless rumor about migrants eating pets in Ohio as being
the subject of just some of the Republican nominees untruths.
Frankly, I dont have enough time here to run through each specific
Trump false claim, he said, pointing viewers to his teams online fact
check of the debate.
Harris false claim was about the economic situation that the Biden-
Harris administration was left by Trump that wasnt as bad as she
suggested, said Dale. She added at least a few misleading claims and a
few more that lack key context, said Dale, but it was incomparable to
Trumps lies.
On X, formerly Twitter, Dale wrote: Trump has been staggeringly
dishonest and Harris has been overwhelmingly (though not entirely)
factual.
