Will CNN ask Kamala Harris about this LIE at the climate change town hall tonight?

Shot. . .

Kamala Harris claimed in a tweet on August 23 that “The Amazon creates over 20% of the world’s oxygen”:

Brazil's President Bolsonaro must answer for this devastation. The Amazon creates over 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to one million Indigenous people.

Any destruction affects us all. pic.twitter.com/rbdtuHMXJ9

Chaser. . .

That is a lie — as we already reported — but here’s FactCheck.org FINALLY getting around to debunking this BS:

The Amazon does not produce 20% of the world’s oxygen, contrary to what politicians say and news orgs have reported. Scientists estimate the percentage is closer to 6% to 9%, and the Amazon ultimately consumes nearly all of that oxygen itself. https://t.co/mjkEX4qPtS
