If you watched the debate last week between the vice presidential hopefuls, you saw it was more of the same for Vance.
He was not only debating Walz, but he also had to deal with moderators doing bogus fact-checks.
Vance still came out on top, and he also embarrassed the fact-checkers from the New York Times.
He Was Right
During the debate, Vance cited a study that claimed the migrant crisis has created a rising cost of housing in this country.
This is really basic economics because when you have demand than supply, the costs go through the roof.
Vance mentioned this during the debate, when he stated, “Look in Springfield, Ohio, and communities all across this country — you’ve got schools that are overwhelmed, you’ve got hospitals that are overwhelmed, you’ve got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans for scarce homes.”
He added, “We don’t want to blame immigrants for higher housing prices, but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does drive up costs higher.”
Vance was challenged on this during the debate, and he stated he would provide the information about the study at one point, then the fact-checkers in the New York Times lit him up.
The only problem was that the fact-checkers did not actually check their facts.
After Vance provided the information, the NYT was forced to retract its “false” claim about Vance’s statements.
So, instead of actually admitting that Vance was right, the Times just stated that his claim “needs context,” which is about as close to an admission of being wrong as you will get from them.
When the New York Times issued its correction, it stated, “It is not clear what study Mr. Vance is referring to in his remarks.
“Some Federal Reserve officials and studies have suggested that immigration might push up home prices around the edges.
“A study by the Dallas Fed said that ‘the population influx could put upward pressure on rents and house prices, particularly in the short run before new supply can be built.’
“And the Minneapolis Fed president said that immigrants ‘need a place to live, and their arrival in the U.S. has likely also increased demand for housing.’”
This is how bad the media has become.
Rather than checking the actual facts, they simply claim something is untrue, then put it on the source to prove the statement versus the other way around.
State-run media…
