How far did the former president depart from the truth on CNN?
Donald Trump addressed a crowd of mostly Republican voters in New Hampshire on Wednesday in a town hall hosted by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.
The Guardian factchecked the former president’s statements throughout the evening given his long history of baseless conspiracy theories and legal troubles.
Claim: Trump started off the night falsely claiming that “millions” of votes were stolen in the 2020 race, and that the election was rigged.
Factcheck: There’s no evidence of widespread fraud, and election officials across the US, including Republican leaders, have repeatedly reaffirmed this over the last two years.
The Trump campaign’s own efforts to show that thousands of ballots cast under the names of deceased people in Georgia came up empty, with findings that contradicted the former president’s claims, a recent report revealed. There is no evidence in any state of fraud or irregularities that affected any election outcomes.
Claim: Trump asserted without evidence that other countries are sending migrants from “mental institutions” into the US.
Factcheck: The former president has repeatedly made this claim, but there is no evidence to support it. Trump’s campaign has been unable to produce evidence of this, CNN recently reported. Anti-immigration groups have also said they are unaware of what Trump may be referencing with these remarks. CNN did a “broad search” for any evidence of this story and came up empty.
