Daniel Dale: ‘No Amount of Fact Checks’ Will ‘Deter’ Trump on Claiming Past Election Victories

‘President Trump did not win three victories’

EXCERPT:

DALE: "I think there are actual school children who could fact-check some of this for us, Jake. President Trump did not win three victories. He won in 2016 and 2024. He lost in 2020. He did not win Michigan three times. He, again, won in 2016 and 2024, lost in 2020 to Joe Biden by more than 150,000 votes. If anyone is surprised that he's still lying about not only the election more than four years ago, but the election he won, as he did tonight, they haven‘t been paying attention. He has repeatedly, this term, as well as the election he ran in, continues to deceive about the last three campaigns, questioning, in a recent interview, Joe Biden‘s vote total in 2020, asserting that there were shenanigans in the vote counting even in 2024. So, all of this is nonsense, but no amount of fact-checking appears to have deterred him on the subject."
