Hunter Biden has explicitly acknowledged that his Biden name got him opportunities. But Trump's portrayal of him as endlessly unemployed without Burisma or without Joe as VP is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Hunter Biden was also not jobless before he got appointed to the Burisma board in 2014. He was a lawyer at the firm Boies Schiller Flexner, an adjunct prof at Georgetown, chairman of World Food Program USA, and CEO of his investment advisory firm. — PolitiTweet.org

It's false Hunter Biden did not have a job until Joe Biden became vice president. He became a partner at a law and lobbying firm in 2001. (He did stop lobbying late in 2008 election. Before that, he had worked for MBNA and for the US Commerce Department.) — PolitiTweet.org

And, of course, many of these vacancies were caused by McConnell's obstruction strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump usually says Obama left him "142" vacancies. Tonight: "128." Actual: 104. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm impressed Trump did that whole segment and did NOT say he got Veterans Choice. — PolitiTweet.org

In context, it's even clearer that Conway was saying more violence was good for Trump. She began this comment by talking about a restaurant owner who'd asked of violent protesters, “Are you protesters trying to get Donald Trump re-elected?” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

In summary: Biden has gotten at least a small number of things at least a little wrong; Trump has told big lie after big lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Kellyanne Conway DID say more violence was good for Trump’s prospects; she said on Fox that “the more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better news for the very clear choice on who's best on public safety and law and order." https://t.co/BnrneM4zl6 — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is not talking about defunding the police. He just said he opposes defunding the police. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is saying the false stuff again https://t.co/PlD15jP5eg — PolitiTweet.org

Our suburbs would not be "gone" if Biden was elected. Trump is talking about an...anti-segregation rule. An explanation of the rule here: https://t.co/tLZHEBy2cp — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has not said that riots are peaceful protest. He's called peaceful protest peaceful protest. — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone has a record of Biden using the phrase "superpredator," which got Clinton in trouble, please let me know. (He did use "predators" in 1993. https://t.co/aNULX6RYAO) — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t say for sure what happened behind the scenes, but Seattle’s mayor says Trump’s claim is false: “We had no conversations whatsoever with the White House about anything related to the protests, Capitol Hill, or anything along these lines.” https://t.co/rKBDYpKdul — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

It's false that Biden does not have "any" law enforcement support. Here is a...Fox News article: https://t.co/XpKkj9xi8A — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden hasn't been perfect from a facts perspective, but he's so far been way, way more accurate than Trump. There is, as usual, no comparison. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

There’s no evidence Biden acted corruptly or improperly re the Ukrainian prosecutor. US, EU, IMF, Ukrainian anti-corruption activists wanted prosecutor gone for corruption and ineffectiveness – such as NOT investigating the owner of Burisma. https://t.co/LLO6Q2x6qs — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden is wrong that the trade deficit with China is now bigger than it was before. That would've been true in 2018, but it isn't anymore; last year's figure was slightly lower than the 2016 figure. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

We don’t have proof Hunter Biden got $3.5M from this Russian businesswoman. Hunter Biden's lawyer, George Mesires, denies he had any interest in the company that got the payment. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump falsely claims he’s brought back 700,000 manufacturing jobs. Through August, it’s a net *loss* of 237,000 manufacturing jobs. Through February, before the pandemic crash, it was a gain of 483,000, so “700,000” would still be a big exaggeration. https://t.co/t8HU3Ses5S — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's claim Trump has done "nothing" to help small businesses" is at least an exaggeration given the PPP program, though lots were left out. — PolitiTweet.org

There is, obviously, no basis for Trump's claim that Democratic governors are keeping restrictions to hurt Trump and Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a longer fact check on what Biden said about pandemic shutdowns; again, he is not currently proposing one: https://t.co/d3FKo07wgy — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Even if we can't establish direct causation, there is really no basis for Trump to claim that there have been no problems from his big pandemic-era rallies. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Highly misleading for Trump to suggest that people have "said the opposite" about masks' effectiveness. That was true early on in the pandemic. It isn't now. — PolitiTweet.org
