Fact check: The third Republican debate
The Republican candidates met once again, and we found several claims worthy of fact-checking. Here are some of the highlights from the debate:
• Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92% of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.
• Businessman Donald Trump disputed the idea that he had criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for supporting H-1B visas. In fact, Trump’s immigration plan, posted on his website, is critical of both of them.
• Trump also claimed his campaign was 100% self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.
