Vice presidential fact check: Daniel Dale selects his lie of the night

Vice President Mike Pence echoed some of President Donald Trump's most common falsehoods and misleading statements during the lone vice presidential debate with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) — though in a more restrained, neatly packaged way.
The Salt Lake City debate was a less chaotic affair when compared to September's first meeting between Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. But there were traces of that event in Pence's delivery of some of the same lines that the President often repeats.
Harris, too, made some claims that were misleading or lacked context, but those paled in comparison to the litany of statements from Pence that were either untrue or needed additional context.
Coronavirus and the Trump administration's response dominated the start of the debate and was referenced throughout, and the threat of the virus — due to the plexiglass barriers separating each desk — was apparent before either candidate spoke a word. The rivals also argued over economic recovery, the future of health care in America and the importance of tackling the climate crisis.

    1. @Sparky Sparky Nonsense. I’ve already told a bunch of other Trump supporters this. Any death that is primarily caused by Covid-19 is considered a Covid-19 death. And the CDC does tally 199,491 them as of todasy.

  1. Hey Daniel you should be the moderator during the actual debate with the ability to call either one of them on what is or isn’t lies. Now that would be interesting 😂😂

    1. and everything a liberal says is the truth, and anything a conservative says is a lie right. and make sure to ask hateful leading questions to show that you are working with the democrats and that you don’t like Trump. Don’t forget to say you created the list of questions that biden gives you to ask. And make sure to help biden out, especially when he forgets what he is talking about or starts to fall asleep.

    2. FLASHBACK : Harris tells NYT on packing the supreme court ” I M OPEN TO THIS DISCUSSION ” ! ( on GOP WAR ROOM )

    1. Andy Ferguson The Republican Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis banned fracking in his state, so people should think carefully.

    2. Naw fracking helps create jobs which leads to restaurants being kept open grocery stores being full etc. Just cuz it’s bad for the environment doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it.

    3. Bob John If it affects the water that we drink and irrigate with (which could affect the plants sold at those grocery stores), then we should reconsider.

    4. THE JACK HQ I’m gonna be honest after the 6 months we just had these “professionals” really shouldn’t be trusted

    5. Bob John I understand. The lockdown protocols could have been more consistent here in Michigan, for example, so I know how you feel.

  2. Its amazing that so many people thought that pence was confident but when you are lying you have to be.

    1. Yeah people who spread lies usually need protection. However hes not a target of dark lies matter so hes safe.

    2. @LaSophiaMichael Did they fact check Harris with fracking? Green new deal? Socialist agendas? Literally everything else she said?

  3. Can I say that the moderator was even worst than Chris Wallace and we need to really find a strong speaker and literally turn off these mikes

  4. *A fly walks into a debate and says, “Is this stool taken?”.* 😂😅😲😍😜😛🤩😋🤣😷😘😝

  5. Fact checking should be in real time. The screen should turn red and the truth ticks across the bottom of the screen.

  6. I hope PENCE will see how he made a fool out of himself by lying the way he did to the American people Which beg whatever the administration is lying about or whatever can be believed.
