How do you say no to the first black vice president? You tell her no. Why does race have to be called into question? She's been absent. She's not done one damn thing.

[@cg123ize]

if race doesnt matter why hasnt there been a black female vice president before?

What lie, specifically, did Trump state?

[@Gutlard]

Do a search. It's been fact checked into oblivion.

@@Gutlard Cause an AI fact check speaks truth.

[@Gutlard]

@@jsainz706 Plenty of non-Reptard news outlets across the spectrum have fact check lists. I know none of them matter, because being in a cult and all kind of makes them moot as Orange Jesus 'never lies' and tells 'nothing but the truth' so help you Trump.
