Over Trump's tenure in office, few have gone as viral as CNN fact checker Daniel Dale.

Dale skyrocketed to fame for his succinct—often breathless—real time fact checks of outgoing President Donald Trump's thousands of lies.


He's left his colleagues speechless with the rapidity of his corrections and informed Americans with his research and knowledge to counter Trump's frequent falsehoods.

In the face of Trump's countless lies that widespread voter fraud coordinated by Democrats somehow tipped the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden, Dale has been working overtime.

And when Trump posted a video threatening to veto the COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress after months of fruitless congressional negotiations, the President repeated these lies about the election and continued to float the fantasy that he'll serve another four years in the White House.

That's when Dale had enough.


Dale emphasized that it wasn't because he was "exhausted" or "broken," but that Trump's "repeated nonsense" isn't worth fact-checking as Trump leaves office. Not to mention, Trump repeats these lies so often that Dale has fact checked practically all of them before.

While a faction of the President's followers have put forth bizarre conspiracies about some possible way the election could be overturned, President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated on January 20th.

People didn't fault Dale on foregoing the fact checks.





Others rebuked social media platforms like Facebook for giving these lies an audience.



Trump's final day in office is on January 20th.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
