Even Leftist CNN Fact-Checker Daniel Dale Has to Slam Tim Walz for Latest Whopper

Daniel Dale

 

CNN’s Daniel Dale has a history of simping for the Democrats and issuing fact-checks that defy common sense, much less reality. Every once in a while, though, even he realizes that if he’s going to maintain an ounce of credibility, he has to tell the truth.

Dale was forced to admit that Kamala Harris’ running mate, jumpin’ Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, fudged the facts on his recent appearance with the harridans of “The View”:

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale corrected Democrat vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's claims about the Trump-era economy and made a key observation that some numbers were taken out of context.

"Let‘s talk about manufacturing," anchor Kate Bolduan said to Dale as she spoke Tuesday on "CNN News Central." "Building back up manufacturing in the United States is a focus of both campaigns." 

She then played a clip of Walz from his recent appearance on ABC's "The View" where he had claimed, "We want to make sure that you're able to bring manufacturing, like [Democrat presidential nominee] Kamala Harris has said. We know [Republican nominee] Donald Trump lost more manufacturing jobs than any president in American history. That‘s simply factual."

Oops, Tim, it's actually not "simply factual." It’s fake news. Implied profanity alert:

Dale went on to provide receipts showing that Walz was flat-out delivering “misinformation” (known in some circles as lying):

"Well, if you’re going to say something is simply factual, it should be factual. This is not," he said. "It’s not true that the Trump presidency lost more manufacturing jobs than any other presidency. Under George W. Bush, there were about 4.5 million manufacturing jobs lost. Under Trump, it was about 178,000."

He went on to add that other past presidents had far more manufacturing jobs lost during their times in office, such as Eisenhower, Ford and Reagan. "So Trump does not have the record," Dale said.

Dale pointed out that there was a little thing called the COVID panic that affected the numbers during his tenure:

Dale also argued that people criticizing Trump’s economy are ignoring the fact there was a historic pandemic during his presidency. 

"I think it‘s also worth pointing out for context that these Trump job losses in manufacturing overwhelmingly occurred because of the COVID pandemic," he said. "Pre-pandemic, under Trump, there was a gain of about 414,000 manufacturing jobs. Again, he ended [at] negative 178,000, but that was largely because we had a pandemic-related crash."

There are less than two weeks left in this insane campaign season, and as we roll into the final days, expect more disinformation from the desperate Democrats as they see their prospects fading. When even Daniel Dale has to call foul, you know Kamala, Tim and Co. are sputtering utter BS.
