These charts are based on totals taken directly from PolitiFact.com and sorted. Above, I sorted by the percentage of statements that were judged either “True” or “Mostly True.” The chart below slightly different. It is sorted by the percentage of statements determined to be “Mostly False,” “False” or 🔥 “Pants on Fire” 🔥.
As is plain, Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine and Barack Obama – and Democrats in general – are consistently more truthful than most Republicans. Donald J Trump performs worst of all, and Mike Pence is not much better.
At the PolitiFact site, you can easily look up each politician and drill down to see which statements were evaluated and how they were analyzed. I find just googling “PolitiFact” plus the last name of the person quickly takes me to each person’s summary.
The irony of course is that Republicans have successfully painted a picture of Hillary Clinton as a “liar” or “untrustworthy,” when she is anything but. Donald Trump, who so many think “tells it like it is “ – is in fact a pathological liar.
I posted a version of the top chart earlier but wanted to update it for the election. I have also posted these charts on Twitter.
