On Tuesday Rachel Madcow decided to fact check Donald Trump.  Madcow said:

“The fact-checking, certainly, could be done.  I mean most people could do it off the top of their heads.”

“George H W Bush signed NAFTA”

George Bush Sr did start the negotiations for NAFTA but the bill was signed on Dec 8th 1993.

After much consideration and emotional discussion, the House of Representatives passed the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act on November 17, 1993, 234-200. The agreement’s supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. The bill passed the Senate on November 20, 1993, 61-38.[6] Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; the agreement went into effect on January 1, 1994.[7][8] Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that “NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t support this agreement.

“NYC Murder Rate is Going Down”

Los Angeles had 282 murders in 2015, compared with 262 in 2014, while New York had 352 murders last year, and about 333 in 2014, the report said.  352 is more than 333 and represents a 7% increase.

“Trump in Favor of War in Iraq before it began”

Sean Hannity also relates that he and Trump argued over Iraq war.  Hannity was in favor of it.

“Hillary Clinton did not originate fake birth certificate conspiracy”

From The Daily Caller:

Former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher recalls how long-time Clinton surrogate Sydney Blumenthal petitioned reporters to cover the rumors back in 2007. (RELATED: Clinton Surrogate ‘Pitched’ Obama Birther During Primary)

Still, no one describes it better than President Obama’s former top aide Reggie Love, who noted that the moment when POTUS finally called out Clinton on the tarmac at Reagan National Airport for spreading those lies was the moment the Obama team knew it had locked up the 2008 Democratic nomination.

 In a matter of seconds, she went from composed to furious. It had not been Obama’s intention to upset her, but he wasn’t going to play the fool either. To all of us watching the spat unfold, it was an obvious turning point in our campaign, and we knew it. Clinton was no less competitive or committed to a cause than Obama, and the electric tension running through both candidates and their respective staffs reflected the understanding that she was no longer the de facto Democratic candidate. Her inevitability had been questioned.

President Obama’s successor cannot and will not be the man who led the racist birther movement. Period.

@HillaryClinton So why did your man spread the birther rumor to me in 2008, asking us to investigate? Remember?
