 Washington Post Gives Dem Senator, DNC Chair ‘Four Pinocchios’ for False Tax Bill Critique
Posted By Cameron Cawthorne On December 6, 2017 @ 10:11 am In Politics | No Comments

The Washington Post fact checker gave Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) a "four Pinocchio" rating for falsely claiming on Twitter that the Republican tax bill would slash education and health benefits to give a tax break to private jet owners.

The Post defines four Pinocchio claims as "whoppers," which are blatantly false statements.
