FACT CHECK: ‘If You’re a Person in Power, Expert Fact-Checker Daniel Dale Is Watching Your Words’

Verdict Free Beacon Fact Check

Claim: “You better believe if you’re a person in power, expert fact-checker Daniel Dale is watching your words.”

Who said it:

CNN’s Don Lemon hosts a morning program at the network. He lost his late-night show due to low ratings. He was introducing Dale to a segment on The “misleading” “just plain wrong” Kevin McCarthy (R.-Calif.), House Speaker, made several claims in the last few weeks.
