Clinton camp weaponizes fact-checks at first debate

After Hillary Clinton’s allies spent days sounding the alarm about the possibility that Donald Trump might tell unchecked lies at the first presidential debate, the Republican nominee’s performance was judged solely by whether a select group of “fact checkers” agreed with his statements.

Clinton repeatedly brought up the need to “fact-check” Trump during the debate Monday evening, urging “fact checkers” to “turn up the volume” at one point and directing them to her campaign website at another.
