KNOWLES: Fact-Checking The Fact-Checkers

Michael Knowles

Michael Knowles fact-checks the fact-checkers on Thursday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show.”

Politico had a great one. Politico’s State of the Union Fact Check: Trump said “One in three women is sexually assaulted on the long journey north. That’s partly true. Here’s the full story.” OK. Do you know why President Trump said one in three women are raped or sexually assaulted on the journey across that border? Now the reason that they say it’s only partially true is because the real number, according to a Doctors Without Borders study, shows that it’s only 31%. Oh, they got him now — President Trump that liar! That liar said that 33% of women are raped and sexually assaulted on the journey north. Really it’s only 31 — boom. Fact Check. Fact Check, Donald. Fake news, alternative facts.
