Fact Check: The DNC's Biggest Embarrassment - This Lie Was Repeated More Than Any Other

If you managed to catch any prolonged stretch of last week’s Democratic National Convention, you probably came away with the impression that the Republican platform involves building a Death Star-like planet-destroying space station called Project 2025.

What will Project 2025 do? What won’t it do, to hear Democrats tell it. It was written by Donald Trump himself. It’ll ban same-sex marriage. It’ll hand NATO over to Vladimir Putin. It’ll inaugurate a nationwide ban on abortion. It will destroy Alderaan in the blink of an eye.

Actually, that last one is attributable to the Death Star, and it didn’t actually happen, since it took place in the “Star Wars” universe. It’s also the only one of those five things that I mentioned that the Democrats didn’t claim about Project 2025 from the dais at the DNC in Chicago.
