One of the great brouhahas post-debate is whether Trump was against the Iraq War or for it. I was amazed to see this headline (and link) on FoxNews.

YOURSELF2003 video shows Trump, not Holt, right on candidate’s Iraq War stance
I watched the video and thought, “I must be missing something. It hardly confirms Fox News’s claim.” So I thought it was time to dig a little deeper. I went to Politifact to see what they had.
Trump still wrong on his claim that opposed Iraq War ahead of the invasion

Did they not hear the video on Fox News? Yep, they did AND they had the transcript of what Trump ACTUALLY said, plus a lot more detail of other statements. I was not surprised they disagreed with Fox News.
Holt RIGHT! BUT, who knows, maybe the “microphone” was also faulty back then.
