6:34Now PlayingLast night was the GOP debate which means today is fact-checking day. We don’t have time to cover more thanks a small fraction of the lies, but here are a few of the more entertaining tall tales… Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Elliot Hill (The Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.
