Mercedes Schlapp’s Attack On Fact Checking Donald Trump Wins Our Outrageous Quote Poll

Mercedes Schlapp's ridiculous attack on truth as liberal bias made her our Outrageous Quote of the Week winner last week.

In case you missed it, Schlapp argued - and Fox host Howard Kurtz did not challenge her - that the disproportionate number of Donald Trump falsehoods found by PolitiFact was proof of the fact checker's liberal bias. And not, you know, proof of Trump's dishonesty. Schlapp said:

“In the case of Hillary Clinton, they gave her over 29 'True' comments. How many did they give to Donald Trump, of “True” comments? Zero. So if they can’t find not one true comment that Donald Trump has made, I would call that biased. …You’ve got to balance it out. Find the 29 statements on each side.”

Schlapp won our poll with 65 of the 187 votes cast.

I'm a bit behind but I'll have a new poll up later today.

This time next year we’ll still be bubbling over about Hillary’s epic crushing of the Trump creature and the Dems’ retaking of both houses with workable majorities. The R Team will be tearing itself to pieces… and Ailes’ F Troop will be blaming and defaming Obama/Clinton, blacks, Mexicans, unions, Muslims… ie business as usual.

foKKKs Spews has no use for Facts, and even less for Fact-Checkers.
