A Truth Check Of Clinton Statements As Democratic Convention Opens
PolitiFact Georgia editor Jim Tharpe speaking with Denis O'Hayer on “Morning Edition.”
The 2016 Democratic National Convention opens Monday in Philadelphia. The presumptive presidential nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is scheduled to give her acceptance speech on Thursday. But after a long career at the highest levels of national government, Clinton hardly needs an introduction to most voters. And, like Republican nominee Donald Trump, she has often been at the center of controversy — in her case, on issues from health care to the private email server she set up when she was Secretary of State.
On “Morning Edition,” Denis O’Hayer got a check of the validity of some recent Clinton claims from Jim Tharpe, editor of PolitiFact Georgia, which appears in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and on myajc.com.
