Jonathan Lemire: We Can ‘Fact Check’ Trump’s SOTU as ‘Full of Lies’

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: “And yes, we saw last night also the extreme partisan rancor that has enveloped Trump’s Washington since he got here in January of 2016. The snubbed handshake with the House Speaker at the beginning, the chants of 'four more years' from Republicans while Democrats sat on their hands and booed him when the President did lie about the economy he inherited from President Obama, and of course the moment at the end when House Speaker Pelosi tore the speech in front of the President. This is now the second or third viral moment she has created from these speeches, and she told reporters later that it was the appropriate thing to do as she was sort of channeling the frustration and anger from Democrats after a speech that she believes, says, and we can fact-check as well, was full of lies.”
