(2,565 posts)Here are some of the items that they used to give Bernie "false"
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/bernie-s/statements/byruling/false/
"When you're white ... you don't know what it's like to be poor."
"Not one Republican has the guts to recognize that climate change is real."
Neither of those are "false" statements.
They take the newspaper ad controversy and split it into 2.
"Almost all of the polls that have come out suggest that I am a much stronger candidate against the Republicans than is Hillary Clinton." - This one actually proved to be true.
However, when you look at Clinton's false statements, they actually have some substance to them.
"The Clean Power Plan is something that Sen. Sanders has said he would delay implementing." A lie
"We now have more jobs in solar than we do in oil." Simply not true. Maybe she meant coal???
"I am the only candidate on either side who has laid out a specific plan about what I would do to defeat ISIS." - Que???
