CNN’s Avlon: ‘Even in a Scripted Speech, Trump Made at Least 20 False or Misleading Claims in 70 Minutes’

EXCERPT:

AVLON: "But there was no mention of the victims of police violence or the murder of protesters and officers, allegedly by right-wing militia types. And even in a scripted speech, Trump made at least 20 false or misleading claims in 70 minutes. Trump said Biden wants to defund the police. That’s a lie. In in fact, Biden’s called for increased funding for police to aid reform. Trump said, 'We will always very strongly protect patients with pre-existing conditions,' while his administration is in court trying to abolish the Affordable Care Act without any sign of his long-promised alternative in the middle of a pandemic. Speaking of the pandemic, President Trump tried to gloss over his failures in confronting Coronavirus, ignoring the fact that America has the worst response record with about 4% of the world’s population, but nearly 22% of the world’s reported deaths to date. But no Trump speech would be complete without some epic project-and-deflect."
