In honor of National Fudge Day, let’s do some brief fact checking, why don’t we?

QUOTE 1:

“It’s the largest winery on the East Coast.” – Donald Trump on his winery in Virginia

FACT CHECK:

Donald doesn’t even actually own the winery. To top it off, it’s not even the biggest winery in Virginia, with three others churning out more wine every month. FALSE.

QUOTE 2:

“I think if we were to just go around this room, there are a lot of immigrant stories. All my grandparents, you know, came over here.” – Hillary Clinton

FACT CHECK: 

Three out of four of Hillary’s grandparents were born in the United States…so, yeah, this is pretty wrong.

QUOTE 3:

“Joseph Stalin said, ‘If you want to bring America down, you have to undermine three things: our spiritual life, our patriotism and our morality.’ We, the people, can stop that decline.” – Ben Carson

FACT CHECK:

Stalin didn’t say this, according to every history book ever. Who said it? We don’t know, and neither does Ben Carson.

QUOTE 4:

“[Ted Cruz’s] father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald being, you know, shot. I mean the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right, prior to his being shot? And nobody even brings it up.” – Donald Trump

FACT CHECK:

This is just extremely, incredibly wrong.

Here’s to fudging the facts!
