   THE CLAIM: Donald Trump referred to his political opponents as "vermin" who are "poisoning the blood of the country."

   FACTCHECK: Trump did make these statements using these exact words, but it being true is potentially very damaging politically to Donald Trump.

   OUR RATING: Mostly false

   • Paul Cantrell repeated this.

     As journalists we cannot put our finger on the scale for or against a candidate by reporting on their exact words and the clear meaning of those exact words and the way that all of that candidate's policies and political achievements align with that rhetoric. That would be bias.
