Truth Ratings

If you’ve been keeping up with our podcasts, then you’re familiar with our series Word Smatter with Jan the Man. Every week, we tear apart the language of the 2016 Presidential candidates to figure out exactly what these masters of ambiguity are talking about.

Data compiled from Politifact.com.
