Politifact: Fact-checking the Bernie Sanders town hall on Fox News [View all]
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/apr/17/fact-checking-bernie-sanders-town-hall-fox-news/Sen. Bernie Sanders’s town hall on Fox News was not a visit to the lion’s den. Judging from the cheers, the audience included plenty of voters open to his message of taxing the uber-rich to pay for more government to help the average Joe.
But hosts Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier peppered the Democratic presidential candidate and self-declared democratic socialist with questions that would strike a chord with a conservative audience. Medicare for All might sound great, they asked in one key exchange, but who would foot the bill?
Sanders pushed back with many facts at his fingertips. We checked out some of his talking points for accuracy.
