  • -This is the CNN Democratic Presidential Debate.

  • -Are we rolling? -Yep.

  • -The debate highlighted the deep divisions

  • between the candidates.

  • But when it came to the facts,

  • some candidates were more accurate

  • than others with their assertions.

  • Let's take a look at some of the biggest factual fumbles

  • from this debate.

  • The two-night, 20-candidate debate

  • took about five hours and covered a lot of ground.

  • There was a lot of talk about what would happen

  • under a Medicare-for-all system.

  • -Are you also "with Bernie" on Medicare-for-all

  • when it comes to raising taxes

  • on middle-class Americans to pay for it?

  • -So, giant corporations and billionaires

  • are going to pay more.

  • Middle-class families

  • are going to pay less out of pocket for their healthcare.

  • -The plan, no matter how you cut it,

  • costs $3 trillion when it is, in fact, employed.

  • -Candidates defended their biographies.

  • -Now, I come from one of the most rural states in America.

  • I have a D-minus voting record from the NRA.

  • Back in 1988, coming from a state that had no gun control,

  • I called for the ban of the sale

  • and distribution of assault weapons.

  • I lost that election.

  • -Immigration and standards of facilities

  • along the border took center stage.

  • -An unlawful crossing is an unlawful crossing

  • if you do it in the civil courts

  • or if you do it through the criminal courts.

  • But the criminal courts is what is giving Donald Trump

  • the ability to truly violate the human rights of people

  • coming to our country

  • where no one surrenders their human rights.

  • And, so, doing it through the civil courts

  • means that you won't need these awful detention facilities.

  • -After the last debate, for example,

  • I went to a place in Florida called Homestead.

  • And there is a private detention facility being paid for

  • by your taxpayer dollars, a private detention facility

  • that currently houses 2,700 children.

  • -Two Democratic debates down and many more to go.

-This is the CNN Democratic Presidential Debate.
