So the Trump campaign has taken over the @washingtonpost home page with ads that take you to a series of YouTube videos that make claims that we have fact-checked as false. Here's a sampling -->
1. No, Biden does not support defunding the police. ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/07/14/trump-ad-falsely-suggests-biden-supports-defunding-police/

3. One You Tube clip just a snippet of a long-ago speech regarding the budget deficit that mentions Social Security, explained here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/03/08/sanders-versus-biden-social-security-guide-claims/

4. And while we haven't done a fact check on Biden's "old age" comments, the collection of flubs is just silly. Anyone could put together a similar collection of Trump misstatements that make him appear like an confused old man.
