First Lady Melania Trump concluded the second night of the Republican National Convention with a speech in which she said, "Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president."
We certainly haven't received total honesty from President Donald Trump. And we certainly didn't get it on Tuesday night. The convention programming was littered with false or misleading claims, including some from the President's son Eric Trump, as well as a number of other claims that were missing important context.
Here's a look at some of the notable claims from Tuesday night and the facts behind them.
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday attacked Democratic nominee Joe Biden over his son Hunter Biden's position on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. "That very same company was being investigated by a Ukrainian prosecutor. Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States, threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless that same prosecutor was fired. And then, he was fired," Bondi claimed.
In pushing for Shokin's removal, Biden was carrying out US policy that was supported by Ukrainian activists, US diplomats and European allies -- as well as Republican senators like Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is now investigating Burisma and the Bidens.
Hunter Biden in October 2019 said he used "poor judgment" in serving on the board of a Ukrainian gas company because it has become a political liability for his father. But there is no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either Biden, and no evidence Joe Biden has profited from his son's business dealings abroad.

CNN claims ANYTHING said by any Republican is a lie.
CNN fact checking is like Michael Moore giving diet advice.
Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!

You’re right, Trump is headed for a HUGE victory which is why the left is spinning out of control. I think they will become even more unhinged when it is announced Trump wins in a landslide.
And yet they didn’t fact-check the oft misquoted “good people on both sides, including white supremacists” remarks that Trump didn’t make concerning Charlottesville
In pushing for Shokin’s removal, Biden was carrying out US policy that was supported by Ukrainian activists, US diplomats and European allies — as well as Republican senators like Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is now investigating Burisma and the Bidens.

CNN Fact Check is an oxymoron.
And moron.
CNN is not a legitimate news organization I am not sure why people keep posting their trash.

First, CNN is a legitimate news organization in the traditional sense. From day one of our Republic newspapers were bias. They have always had an agenda. Now, the only thing that is different today then it was a century ago is there is very little competition. But simply because they are biased does not make them illegitimate.
Second why post articles from them (and other left leaning organizations), simple, unlike the left, we are not afraid of reading contrary opinions. We don’t have to agree with their view but it is important we know what they are thinking.
Because the left live in a bubble and do not allow any views but their own is the reason they will lose in the end.
Beat you to it!!! I quit at the letters “CNN”.
Froggy from the Ghoul! Classic!
If I ever want to know CNN’s idea of facts (which is never), I know that FR is the place to look.
Gosh I loved the Ghoul.
