PolitiFact: VP Debate Fact-Check

The candidates sparred on numerous topics, including immigration, school shootings, reproductive rights and the economy. We fact-checked several of their statements.

PolitiFact fact-checks statements of people in power, regardless of political party.

Comments

"Immigration

Vance: "There's a Federal Reserve study ... that really drills down on the connection between increased levels of migration, especially illegal immigration, and higher housing prices."

Mostly False

Vance: In Springfield, Ohio, hospitals are "overwhelmed" because of illegal immigration.

False.

Vance: "We have 320,000 children that the Department of Homeland Security has effectively lost. Some of them have been sex trafficked."

Mostly False.

This is not what a federal oversight report said.

Vance: "So there's an application called the CBP One app, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status."

Mostly False.

Vance: "As I read the Minnesota law that (Walz) signed into law ... it says that a doctor who presides over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide lifesaving care to a baby who survives a botched late-term abortion."

False.

Experts said cases in which a baby is born following an attempted abortion are rare. Less than 1% of abortions nationwide occur in the third trimester.

And infanticide, the crime of killing a child within a year of its birth, is illegal in all U.S. states.

Iran
Vance: "Iran, which launched this attack (on Israel), has received over $100 billion and unfrozen assets, thanks to the Kamala Harris administration."

False.

Fentanyl and opioids
Vance: "Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels."

Mostly False.

Health care
Vance: "Donald Trump could have destroyed the (Affordable Care Act). Instead, he worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Americans had access to affordable care."

False.

January 6, 2021
Vance: Donald Trump "peacefully gave over power on January the 20th as we have done for 250 years in this country."

Mostly False."

They go on to give full explanations at the thread link article.

TO almost no one's surprise, Vance LIED his ass off throughout the entire Debate, while most of Walz's statements were True or Mostly True, with a couple of exceptions.

Some of the memorable whoppers were:

Dementia Don saved ACA. Nope. He tried killing it twice and replacing it with crap insurance that was little more than a premium extraction tool.

The peaceful transfer of power. We all watched as he started crying fraud in June 2020 and has not stopped to this day. We heard months up to November of the lies. Then watched lawsuit after lawsuit fail without any proof of fraud. Then the phone calls to to Kemp trying to get him to fake 11,780 votes. Then the illegal false electors scheme and dotard attempting to replace the AG with a crony who would say their was fraud. Finally the 1/6 "rally" which was just an excuse to get armed trumpturds near the capitol to have them attack the Congressional count. We all saw the attack on the capitol. We all saw the militia with police restraints, cattle prods, clubs, knives and guns. We saw the sweatshirts that had "Civil War 1/6/21" printed on them. There is no way this was not planned. Period.

Vance is just a lying pos as diaper don, just a little more polished.
