Trump Defends Racist Tweet To Bill O’Reilly:
Am I Gonna Check Every Statistic? [VIDEO]

Last night Bill O’Reilly called out Donald Trump for tweeting out that racist and completely false graphic about black crime rates. Trump brushed O’Reilly off, saying, “Am I gonna check every statistic?” O’Reilly: “You gotta! You’re a presidential candidate!” Watch below.

UPDATE: The Washington Post goes OFF.

At The Fix, we’ve already told you that Trump is leading a fact-free campaign, a conclusion shared by many other impartial observers and, obviously, Trump detractors. But we’ve also told you that he and his backers almost always have an alternate explanation for the things he says and does, which — however great a stretch those explanations might be — at least permits everyone living in Trumpland to say everyone else is wrong.

Trump, for an instant, anyway, stopped pretending Monday night. So, when liberal cousin Bob says at the Thanksgiving dinner table that Trump recklessly spreads false information to stir things up, even the biggest Trump lover will have no comeback. The candidate himself said he can’t be bothered to check for truth before he clicks “retweet.”
