[See NewsBusters for more.] Gayle King just came right out and said it. The CBS This Morning co-host on Tuesday said she views the Democratic response to Donald Trump’s nationwide speech as a “fact check” of the President. King, a Democratic donor who is best friends with possible 2020 presidential contender Oprah Winfrey, responded to John Dickerson discounting claims by Mike Pence. Regarding Pence’s interview with CBS journalist Major Garrett on the border, the co-host dismissed, “But the fact that the Vice President used numbers that have been  fact checked by the Washington Post, McClatchy and others is a weakness in their case.” King responded, “And that is why Democrats want to have a response immediately after the address so they can fact check it in real time.”
