(13,776 posts)(snip) ... the Democratic presidential nominee and the DNC War Room launched a new joint venture on Twitter: @Truth, which aims to fact-check President Trump during the presidential debate.
The American people deserve to remember what its like to have a president who tells the truth again, Andrew Bates, a Biden campaign spokesman, told the Washington Post.
The move by Democrats comes on the heels of reports that moderator Chris Wallace, the anchor of "Fox News Sunday," will not be responsible for fact-checking the candidates' claims in real-time during Tuesday's debate.
"We don't expect Chris or our other moderators to be fact checkers," Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., the co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, told CNN Sunday. "The minute the TV is off there will be plenty of fact checkers."
