My counter to woke colleagues' position that "Biden was frail but told the truth" is pointing out the fact that both Trump and Biden lied last night. Biden just looked like death doing it while Trump looked ready for a 4 year term. What impartial/fair debate factchecks have ya'll found?

Yes, this is a very fair and objectively honest article:

quote:

JAN. 6

TRUMP: “They talk about a relatively small number of people that went to the Capitol and in many cases were ushered in by the police.”

THE FACTS: That’s false. The attack on the U.S. Capitol was the deadliest assault on the seat of American power in over 200 years. As thoroughly documented by video, photographs and people who were there, thousands of people descended on Capitol Hill in what became a brutal scene of hand-to-hand combat with police

So the first part of the AP fact check:

JAN. 6

TRUMP: “They talk about a relatively small number of people that went to the Capitol and in many cases were ushered in by the police.”

THE FACTS: That’s false. The attack on the U.S. Capitol was the deadliest assault on the seat of American power in over 200 years. As thoroughly documented by video, photographs and people who were there, thousands of people descended on Capitol Hill in what became a brutal scene of hand-to-hand combat with police.

In an internal memo on March 7, 2023, U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said that the allegation that “our officers helped the rioters and acted as ‘tour guides’” is “outrageous and false.” A Capitol Police spokesperson confirmed the memo’s authenticity to The Associated Press. More than 1,400 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the riot. More than 850 people have pleaded guilty to crimes, and 200 others have been convicted at trial.

They call it "deadly" when only a protestor/Trump supporter was killed. They say it's false and quote a memo when we have dozens of videos of officers ushering in protestors or rioters with nobody in distress.

It's pathetic.

Deadliest assault?

One death, and it was an unarmed female protester.

Goddamn I hate these lying leftists.

Is there a more objective and impartial article from a source that doesn't use hyperbole in their fact checking? Which is odd since most of Trump's lies are actually just using hyperbole and generalizations to drive home a point that is true.

The AP has become nothing more than a propaganda tool for the DNC. Today’s example headline was”Insults Drown Issues ….”.
Little, if any, comment on Biden’s obvious problems.

Trump just exaggerated a few times. Biden outright lied. He said his son died in Iraq. He said he inherited 9% inflation. Then he said there was no inflation when he entered office because Trump‘s economy was so bad. Outright lies.
