“Hello, 911? We’d like to report a murder.”
No, we’re serious.
Gov. Ron DeSantis spox Christian Pushaw posted this email exchange with PolitiFact’s Yacob Reyes where he asked for documentation on the governor’s claim that of “the student debt that’s out there, almost 60% of it is graduate school debt.”
Christina’s response? Well, she sent him a link from Poynter — Reyes’ employer — that said the same thing. Amazing.

Yacob Reyes: “The fact is, almost 60% means 59%. So we rate this claim mostly false.”

Ha ha. Also, I cry BS on the "you must get back in four hours, I'm on a deadline" stuff. @PolitiFact can take like two weeks to get around to finishing a "fact check." They're not a daily newspaper, kids. https://t.co/20jEodWk83
