          This explanation seems reasonable. So, in the interest of transparency, will you please identify the factual assertions that you checked and sources you relied upon to determine their veracity?

          “Throughout the year, we have seen Democrats across the country uniting around a new legislative proposal that would end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for their entire lives.” First paragraph is a lie. Nice “fact checking.”
