There were some very misleading lies told in the Presidential Debate last night. I would like to highlight a few of them. Unfortunately, many of those lies were told by the moderator Chris Wallace. It is also true that those lies painted a negative picture of President Trump. I do not believe that Chris Wallace was a neutral moderator. These lies are not necessarily in any particular order. This is the link<\/a> to the transcript.<\/p>\n

Lie number one:<\/p>\n

Chris Wallace: (19:34<\/a>)<\/strong>
\nYou talk about the economy booming. It turns out that in Obama\u2019s final three years as president more jobs were created, a million and a half more jobs, than in the first three years of your presidency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The facts:<\/p>\n

When President Obama took office in January 2009, the workforce participation rate was 65.7. When President Obama left office in January 2017, the labor participation rate was 62.8. That was the rate when President Trump took office. The labor participation rate before the coronavirus was 63.4 (February 2020). With the lockdown, the rate dropped to 60.2. At the end of August it was 61.7.<\/p>\n

Lie number two:<\/p>\n

Chris Wallace: (25:43<\/a>)<\/strong>
\nNo, less than you have. Let\u2019s please continue on. The issue of rice(sic). Vice-President Biden, you say that President Trump\u2019s response to the violence in Charlottesville three years ago, when he talked about very fine people on both sides, was what directly led you to launch this run for president.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a Democrat talking point. The quote is taking totally out of context. This is the exact quote:<\/p>\n

You know what? It\u2019s fine, you\u2019re changing history, you\u2019re changing culture, and you had people \u2013 and I\u2019m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally \u2013 but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats \u2013 you had a lot of bad people in the other group too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lie number three:<\/p>\n

Chris Wallace: (32:21<\/a>)<\/strong>
\nThis month, your administration directed federal agencies to end racial sensitivity training that addresses white privilege or critical race theory. Why did you decide to do that, to end racial sensitivity training? And do you believe that there is systemic racism in this country, sir?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breitbart<\/a> notes:<\/p>\n

Trump banned a specific kind of racial insensitivity training, which involves \u201cCritical Race Theory.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Critical Race Theory<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the idea that the major institutions of the United States are tainted by slavery and racism because they were founded when slavery was still legal in parts of the country. According to the late Derrick Bell, who founded Critical Race Theory, the very institution of private property is tainted by racism because of slavery. Even the Civil Rights movement was regrettable to some extent, Bell believed, because it created an illusion of racial equality. Only a massive redistribution of wealth, driven by the creation of socioeconomic rights, can cure American society of its systemic racism, the theory holds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a practical level, Critical Race Theory teaches that social interactions are guided by \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d and that society is corrupted by \u201csystemic racism,\u201d according to which black Americans must always be victims \u2014 even if unconsciously so. Critical Race Theory is the ideology animating the Black Lives Matter movement that has brought unrest to America\u2019s cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are just some of the issues. One of the other things that really bothered me was the comparison between the Trump children and Joe Biden’s son Hunter. There has never been any evidence that the Trump children are guilty of anything. There is significant evidence that Hunter Biden has continually been involved in questionable business dealings.<\/p>\n
