Here's the Biden quote from tonight. He was talking about international reaction to Trump's comments on the Charlottesville white supremacist rallies. He caught himself before fully saying "Thatcher," saying "excuse me," but didn't replace it with another name. https://t.co/kh03letuy4 — PolitiTweet.org

To me, this one is up there with his lie about a nonexistent phone call from the Boy Scouts on the list of unfathomable-level dishonesty. https://t.co/O89GbRjRDX — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, speaking from a script, is not repeating his morning-Twitter suggestion of strengthening background checks or linking background checks to "immigration reform." — PolitiTweet.org

Some more fact checks: - Gillibrand mischaracterized what Biden wrote in the article she confronted him on - Biden told us to Google “1,000 prisoners freed Kamala Harris,” and we did, and it’s not true 1,000 prisoners were freed (1,000 cases were dropped) https://t.co/FGVwVzlAsq — PolitiTweet.org

He said he has more handshake stamina than previous presidents. He said illegal immigrants change hats to cast multiple votes. He accused Cummings of being racist and Mueller of being a criminal. A breakdown of Trump's week in extreme dishonesty: https://t.co/bva5juue3E — PolitiTweet.org

Those are not Omar’s and Ocasio-Cortez-Cortez’s poll numbers in their districts or the country. Trump is referring to a poll of...white likely voters who have 2 years or less of college. Axios published it without naming who did it or provided it, and without full results. https://t.co/PeJgf7CQXF — PolitiTweet.org

Conservatives have criticized Omar for making light of someone's visceral reaction to al Qaeda and for (possibly) implying equivalence between al Qaeda and the United States. The president turned that into...Omar calling al Qaeda "wonderful" and "great," which never happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Omar argued that the media uses Arabic names out of a desire for sensationalism, to raise fears. She then laughed about how her professor in a college class on terrorism tensed when saying "al Qaeda" while not showing similar body language when saying "England" or "America." 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

The context in short: Omar said people find it easier to condemn the atrocities of non-state actors like al Qaeda or al-Shabaab than they do the crimes of their own governments. The PBS host mused about why Americans use these Arabic names rather than the less-scary English. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump lost 300,000 followers in Twitter’s 2018 purge of fake accounts. (Obama lost 2 million, the Dalai Lama 375,000). Trump has turned this into a conspiracy about Twitter impeding real people from following him. You click a button to follow him. https://t.co/Swwm4AIEhH — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he is pursuing a "new option" over the citizenship question because litigation would take too long: he's ordering all federal department to "provide the Department of Commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and non-citizens in our country." — PolitiTweet.org

A viral Gateway Pundit post accuses Kamala Harris of lying that she was part of the second integrated class at her Berkeley school. She wasn’t. The school district confirms to me that she was correct. The busing plan started in ‘68. She enrolled in ‘69. https://t.co/qYsXFWYImQ — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff spoke in 2017 to Russian comedian-pranksters who purported to be a Ukrainian politician with damaging info on Trump. So Trump is also wrong about that one -- nobody was purporting to be a Russian operative. https://t.co/6Gm6Ykm45O — PolitiTweet.org

Just had an economist ask me to call her to discuss my emailed query about Trump's claim that his tariffs on China are partly responsible for the good GDP growth. She said she asked to talk rather than simply reply by email because “I didn’t know how to write down laughing.” — PolitiTweet.org

Update: In the May 8 version, the NYPD cop was a “big, strong guy” and told Trump that his 401(k) was up 47%. In previous versions, we didn’t know how large he was and his 401(k) was up 39%, 41%, 46%, 44%, and 49%. https://t.co/epLVIx27S8 https://t.co/xKJJlUCPJE — PolitiTweet.org
