Julie and Michelle Fact Check Trump's Speech In Real Time
Trump Declares "Election Was Stolen" — We Fact-Checked Him LIVE ABC, NBC, and CNN all refused to air Donald Trump's primetime address tonight. We didn't look away — we fact-checked him in real time, line by line, while he did it.
Trump used the speech to "declassify" intelligence he claims proves China stole the 2020 election for Biden — despite the actual intelligence community assessment showing no evidence any foreign power altered a single vote, and despite Trump himself calling Xi Jinping "a great leader" and "a friend" as recently as last month.
We break down what the documents actually say, why he's really doing this (hint: the SAVE America Act, a bill that would make it dramatically harder for women, young voters, and voters of color to register), and why he's using "treason" accusations as cover to strip ABC and NBC of their broadcast licenses. We also get into: the FBI files on Michigan voter registration fraud he conveniently left out of context, the DHS non-citizen voter claims, John Ratcliffe's awkward position as both the CIA director now and the DNI he's accusing of a "cover-up" then, and why Trump's own approval ratings — not foreign interference — are what's actually going to sink Republicans this November.
