If you’re playing a drinking game and your phrase is “Go to https://t.co/oDBZsw1LSU” you’re already in a coma.

The website lists what it calls 21 “documented lies” uttered by DeSantis, citing fact-checking sites such as CheckYourFact and PolitiFact. PolitiFact disputed some of the Haley campaign’s claims that the fact-checking site rated these specific claims made by DeSantis as “false,” pointing to an example where Haley co-sponsored a bill to raise the sales tax by 1%.
