From the Daily Caller: CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale asserted Tuesday that Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump set a record for lost manufacturing jobs.
Walz claimed that Trump set a record for the most manufacturing job losses during his administration in a Monday appearance on “The View,” where he also took aim at Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, alleging that Vance and Trump were “venture capitalists” who helped ship jobs overseas. Dale contested Walz’s point and pointed out that job losses under Trump were due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If you’re going to say something is simply factual, it should be factual. This is not. It’s not true that the Trump presidency lost more manufacturing jobs than any other presidency,” Dale told “CNN News Central” host Kate Bolduan. “Under George W. Bush, there were about 4.5 million manufacturing jobs lost. Under Trump, it was about 178,000. But there are also more manufacturing jobs lost than under Trump: under Eisenhower, under Ford, under Reagan. So Trump does not have the record.”
“I think it’s also worth pointing out for context that these Trump job losses in manufacturing overwhelmingly occurred because of the COVID pandemic,” Dale continued. “Pre-pandemic, under Trump, there was a gain of about 414,000 manufacturing jobs. Again, he ended a negative 178,000, but that was largely because we had a pandemic-related crash.”
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman posted a video clip of the stunning moment and wrote, “HOLY SHT! CNN just fact checked Tim Walz and exposed a blatant LIE!”

Below are just some of the comments pouring in on social media, in reaction to the liberal ‘anti-Trump’ network actually calling out Walz’s false claims.
You know things are falling apart when CNN is actually admitting lies from the left!

They never fact check him during interviews. They fact check trump and Vance to their faces but Harris and Walz get fact checked way later when their viewers already are under false impressions
