Repeat Debate Claims: GOP Version
Person: John Kasich
Kasich’s Post-Cold War Defense Cuts
A pro-Jeb Bush super PAC says John Kasich “voted with Nancy Pelosi to cut troop levels and military funding.” That’s true. But those votes came at a time when the debate was not whether to reduce troops or defense spending, but by how much.
FactChecking the Ninth GOP Debate
Six remaining Republican candidates misrepresent the facts on the Supreme Court, immigration, abortion and other issues.
Is Kasich ‘Worst’ on Spending?
Pro-Jeb Bush ads rely on skewed data to falsely label Ohio Gov. John Kasich as having the “worst rating on spending of any governor in the country, Republican or Democrat.”
FactChecking the Eighth GOP Debate
The candidates made false and misleading claims in the Manchester meeting.
FactChecking the Seventh GOP Debate
There was no Donald Trump, but plenty to fact-check in the last GOP debate before the Iowa caucuses.
Distorting Kasich’s Tax Plan
An ad from a conservative group attacks Ohio Gov. John Kasich as an “Obama Republican,” and misleadingly claims his budget “raised taxes by billions, hitting businesses hard and the middle class even harder.” The ad only tells half the story.
New Day for America
A Republican super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich for president and operated by several Kasich former staffers.
FactChecking the Sixth Republican Debate
Candidates spin some old and new points in the latest GOP debate.
Kasich’s Misleading Attack on Christie
Ohio Gov. John Kasich took a swipe at New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s governance, saying “we have a balanced budget” but “they don’t over in New Jersey.” The state constitution requires New Jersey to have a balanced budget, and it does.
