RNC fact check, day three

GOP vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance was the headliner on the third night of the GOP convention, which featured a number of misleading or inaccurate statements. Here are just a few, fact-checked by our colleague, Glenn Kessler.

Hearing a politician lie is one thing, hearing others lie for them is more concerning because it means they fell for it.

Theres lying, and then theres... thinking everybody forgot about the massive economic crisis of 4 years ago.

[HolyKoolaid]

I remember Trump's "booming economy." I remember all the homeless people living it up under bridges.

[itzastralz]

"Yeah I guess so... um..." is such a Trump thing to say when asked if he supported the invasion of a country of 30 million people

[ggsilik]

Remember the Helsinki summit and Trump said he believed Putin and not the FBI?

[perrinpartee]

I’m ready to never see Trump again. Sick of all the lies and nonsense

The more handsome J.D. Vance fact checks J.D. Vance

Holy crap that botox has some side effect....

[eljackryan]

Fact checking representatives every day and people still support them (no matter the party) its crazy.

[myflippinggoodness]

You've seen enough. If you vote Republican, you've lost my respect 🤷‍♂️✌️

[h.a.]

“Are you for invading Iraq?”

“Yeah I guess”

LMAOOO

Trump answered going to war the same way he answers when he's asked if he wants to stop to get something to eat while on a road trip.

[BoboMcBooboy]

Trump Jr.'s eyes are so glassy, as a former addict. You just know. You can see the teleprompter off those eyes...So the nerve for them to talk about Hunter at all is too much

[camholmes]

This is not helping him avoid the JD Vance allegations

[mr.markofski]

In Trump’s defense, that was the *weakest* support for the war I think I ever heard from anybody 💀

[vincecallagher]

Not one person voting for trump will see this
