6. Wow, some real zingers in that piece. For instance, Bernie recently said:

“Four years ago, I was in a national TV debate. And the moderator said, Senator Sanders, what do you consider to be a major foreign policy and national security crisis. And I think they expected me to say Al Qaeda, ISIS, which are very serious threats to this country. But I responded and I said the major national security crisis we face is climate change. And the moderator actually laughed. Well they are not laughing today.”

The fact checking sleuths at the Times went back to that 2015 debate and found that yes, Sanders did answer "climate change" BUT video evidence shows that the moderator didn't actually laugh.

Great find. The American people need to know these things.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
