Trump and Kamala speeches from two rallies fact-checked. Kamala had 6 items flagged, only 1 outright false statement. Trump had 64 items flagged, with 23 outright falsehoods.

Let's just say one of these candidates is swinging for the fences when it comes to misleading people. Wow.

@AnthonyBaker but also let's say they are both awful and demand better of the parties next time around.

And probably just go ahead and get ready to impeach whichever one manages to get elected, because Lord knows both of them are going to commit impeachable offenses.

We get the government we deserve. We keep electing these morons.

@volkris Uh, don't agree on them "both" committing impeachable offenses, but do agree that the media should hold candidates to a MUCH higher standard.

@AnthonyBaker Harris has already promised to bypass Congress and do things that presidents don't have authority to do.

And we know from Trump's track record that he will.

So yeah, they're both going to be setting themselves up for impeachment if our representatives have the guts to hold them to the law.

But I don't think it's about media holding candidates to a much higher standard. It's about voters. We keep reelecting candidates, particularly representatives, who keep screwing us over. We keep giving them power.

We should stop.
