    Sure, but doing a fact check at all is very strongly suggesting that the person making the claim is lying in a way that would be materially significant.

    It just seems wrong to report that well technically, the candidate himself didn’t say those exact words (while ignoring that he communicates like a mafia don), and fit it in amongst other fact-checks where the candidate is literally libelling an entire community with things that are absolutely bare-faced lies with very very racist underpinnings?

      You seem confused. Their reporting here was that trump claimed not to be associated with the document, but in reality is. Maybe you don’t like their wording?
