    1. I did multiple fact checks and those claims are unproven. Infowars website is in my view not a credible source. Please find this story on a major network. Infowars is run by one man. One opinion. We need facts.

      There's a lot that is brought up in the debates that are false or exaggerations. Let's give stories that are backed by fact. If you want to rework the question be my guest.
