The Whoppers of 2015


FactCheck.org Director Eugene Kiely appeared on CBS’ “This Morning” to discuss our annual article on some of the biggest political whoppers of the year. For the first time in our 12 years, we conferred the title “King of Whoppers” on a single individual: businessman Donald Trump.
