Kamala "fact checked" by The Federalist Society

The Federalist Society fact checked Kamala’s debate performance and claimed she lied 25 times. I did find some FS claims true, I did find problems with them. One claim by the FS is that she lied about growing up in a middle class family (actually, she did). Also, she lied about Trump’s tax cuts benefitted the rich. They showed the income tax data (the FS ignored other tax cut forms in the plan). Also, the FS claimed Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025 (even though Vance wrote the prologue). The right wing lies even when they are “fact checking”.

Did they list them or did they just say every time he opened his mouth he lied?

ROBERTS: Well, the overlap is tremendous. In fact, if you compare three documents, Project 2025, the Republican platform, which President Trump had a really strong hand in, which is good in terms of his political senses and positions, as well as the policy agenda that's on his campaign website, Agenda 47. The overlap, as you might imagine, is significant. There are some quibbles and differences of opinion here and there, which not only is okay, but it's actually good. I mean, we're gonna be able to sort those out once the presidential administration declares what their priorities are.

And if we look at President Trump's official Agenda 47, which is excellent, or the Republican party's platform, which at least in political terms, I think, is very effective and excellent. President Trump had a direct hand in that. Or if you look at the priorities of Project 2025, the overlap on that Venn diagram are all of the priority issues that the American people care about. We're totally over the target on the center right in the United States, and I think that's what's got the left running scared.
