The Bee Fact Checks Last Night's Debate
Politics · Sep 11, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis tried to graciously provide viewers with real-time fact checks during the Presidential Debate last night, but as noble as their intentions were, those imperfect humans overlooked just a few teensy items.

Here's what our respected Bee Fact Checker panel uncovered:


Claim #1

Trump: "Hello, my name is Donald Trump."

False. His name is Donald John Trump. While it's unclear why Trump would deliberately withhold his middle name, one thing is certain; Donald John Trump is a liar.

Claim #2

Trump: "Tim Walz shaves his legs."

False. While Walz's legs are indeed as smooth as marble, he does not shave his legs -- he waxes his legs.

Claim #3

Trump: "Madden 2002 is the best sports game ever made. You could knock the helmets off of players."

False. NFL Quarterback Club 98 exists. Duh.

Claim #4

Trump: "Trump supporters didn't kill anyone on January 6."

False. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was killed 13 times that day.

Claim #5

Muir: "There is no credible evidence cats are being killed by Haitian immigrants."

True. They are only killing geese and dogs. And some humans. But no cats.

Claim #6

Harris: "I'm doing a good job."

False. She's doing a GREAT job.

Claim #7

Davis: "In some states in this country it is legal to kill a baby after it is born."

False. Well, technically it's true, but it sounds bad. So let's say false.

Claim #8

Muir: "Good night."

False. It was not a good night, David. IT SUCKED.


We hope this sets the record straight on the lies of everyone involved.
