A candidate being mad at a fact check is a massive red flag

[–] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's a massive red flag but one the right won't see. Just look at Fox-Legally-Classified-As-Entertainment's clip on the fact checking, and read the comments. They took this as a sign of bias and think JD Vance won the exchange. The fact that JD Vance spelled out the legal process for them to not be illegal immigrants (iow he was lying) is lost on them.

I hope at least some people realize the gaslighting going on both from trump/vance as well as the media.

People doing this kind of mental gymnastics weren't ever going to accept that Vance lost the debate.

That’s some serious small dick energy

No, just no.

So I didn't see this, yet, but please tell me that this image doesn't contain a verbatim quote of how this went down. This would be insanity

"Th-the rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check me, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” Vance said."

Unfortunately it's true.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 week ago

That's when I turned it off.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

When they complain about being fact checked and that not fact checking them was a prerequisite for them to attend the debate, that tells you everything about what they stand for.

Fascists are easily startled but they’ll soon be back. And in greater numbers.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

Lol I'm loving all the star wars references tonight.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 93 points 1 week ago

The idea that these putzes whine about being fact-checked. This is where we are at.

And this from the bunch that wear shirts that say things like "fuck your feelings" and "facts don't care about your feelings". Then they melt the very second a fact shows up to negate their feelings about their fictions.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

Actually amazing. How is this the timeline we're in

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

“You told me I could tell lies unchecked!”

And this melting snowflake may actually be our next vice president.

I like my VPs able to take criticism

[–] smeenz 29 points 1 week ago

Given Donny's general health, this melting snowflake may well be your next president

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Looks like the source changed the headline on you:

"J.D. Vance Lashes Out After the Smallest Fact-Check in V.P. Debate"

If you could update yours, that would be great!
