Politifact lie of the year in 2017 went to "hoax" claims


Politifact: "2017 Lie of the Year: Russian election interference is a 'made-up story'". Is that the Russia hoax you're saying the Post wasted its time on? The same Russia hoax that the Republican-controlled Senate released that report on in August after 4 years of investigating?

So maybe recalibrate where you're going for facts, because anybody who tracks this stuff knows that Trump's lies dwarf those of any other politician on either side. Politifact also gave Lie of the Year honors to Trump claims in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2020. Obama got it once in 8 years for "keep your doctor" and deservedly so on that one. Still not as egregious as the lies Trump told for 6 years since their policy goal initially was to make that possible. They also apologized and made changes to the policy if you follow the 2013 link in the list below. Has Trump ever acknowledged that Russian interfered in the 2016 election? Or that the Ukraine call was reported accurately? So yes, I'll keep them categorized separately thanks.
